John Tyler Morgan was a Democratic senator from Alabama who served from 1877 until his death in 1907, and this c1901 portrait shows him in a bust view turned to the left. The print was copyrighted by George Prince of Washington, D.C., a photographer who made many studio portraits of officials and public figures in the capital during those years. Morgan was known in the Senate for his long advocacy of an isthmian canal and his foreign affairs work, so a portrait from this period captures a figure at the height of his influence.
