Richard Hutson is the subject here, a South Carolina lawyer who served as a delegate to the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War and died in 1795. The record credits the etching to Max Rosenthal but gives no date, so the work's exact origins are unclear. Its fine line and careful rendering are typical of etching, a method that let artists reproduce portraits of Revolutionary-era figures for later audiences. Because the caption information is unverified, viewers should treat the attribution and dating as provisional.
