A portrait of Hena Samuel, identified in its record with the U.S. Coast Survey, places this sitter within the federal agency that charted the American coastline and its harbors. The Coast Survey, created in 1807, was among the country's earliest scientific federal bodies, and its work on navigation mattered greatly to shipping and commerce in the nineteenth century. The picture belongs to the Brady-Handy Collection, a body of portraits by Mathew Brady and Levin Handy that documents many people active in public life during that period.
