This photograph reproduces a portrait of Jacob Crowninshield, a member of the Salem, Massachusetts, merchant family whose fortunes rose on Atlantic and Asian trade in the early republic. Because the picture is a photograph of a painting, it records the artist's composition rather than the sitter's appearance directly. The painting is attributed to Robert Hinckley, a Boston-area portraitist, but the caption card gives no date, and that information is unverified. Viewers should treat the attribution and dating as provisional until they are checked against other sources.
