Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, is the subject of this engraving, which is catalogued only by his name and dates of birth and death. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and later served as secretary of state, vice president, and president from 1801 to 1809. Portraits like this one were often reproduced from paintings, such as those by Rembrandt Peale or Gilbert Stuart, so engravings of Jefferson helped spread his likeness to readers who never met him. The card gives no date or artist, so the exact origin of the plate remains unconfirmed.
