This photogravure is based on a lithographed silhouette from Brown's "Portrait Gallery of Distinguished American Citizens." Described as "one of the outstanding American silhouettists" in "America on Stone," Brown wandered the country executing full-length silhouette portraits of major public figures. He placed each into a landscape or interior background related to the individual. Most of the original 1845 edition, which were lithographs, was destroyed by fire, so they are quite scarce. 20th Century Subjects, Portraits, Presidents
