A Boston mayor who later led Harvard, Josiah Quincy appears here in a portrait that links the city's civic life to its best-known university. Quincy served as mayor from 1823 to 1828 and as Harvard's president from 1829 to 1845, a tenure remembered for expanding the college's buildings and reforming its administration. The record gives no date for the print, and the name Edwards on the catalog card has not been confirmed as the maker, so the image's exact origin remains uncertain.
