This half-length portrait shows Simon Bradstreet, who served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the late seventeenth century. The print reproduces a painting hung in the Senate Chamber of the Essex Institute in Salem, Massachusetts, so the image records a likeness preserved in a public institution rather than a photograph taken from life. Bradstreet lived from 1603 to 1697, a span that carried him from the colony's earliest decades into the era of royal challenges to its charter. Because the original painting's origins and artist are not given in the record, the reproduction is best read as evidence of how Bradstreet's image was kept and remembered in the early twentieth century.
