• DESCRIPTION: This finely detailed stipple engraving by Benjamin Tanner (1775-1848), titled John Adams Esqr., depicts a bust of John Adams with his body turned slightly to the left, while his gaze meets the viewer directly. Likely created around 1820-1830, the portrait is set within an oval frame, though the left side of the outer oval has been trimmed off, and the right margin is cut closely. The paper shows toning consistent with its age, adding to the historical character of this refined print. Tanner’s craftsmanship is evident in the delicate rendering of Adams' features, making this an exemplary piece of early 19th-century portraiture in print.

• ADDITIONAL INFO: This piece is in a 6.25 x 9.5 inch archival mylar and backed with archival quality mat board for safe handling.

• CONDITION: The image is set within an oval frame, though the outer oval has been trimmed off on the left side and closely on the right margin. The paper exhibits toning consistent with its age. The paper is thin, requiring careful handling.
