The sitter here is listed as Hon. Arthur P. Hayne of South Carolina, so the picture is a formal record of a politician from a state whose public life in the 1850s was often tied to the sectional disputes that led to the Civil War. The portrait dates to 1855, when Mathew Brady's Washington studio drew many members of Congress, officials, and visitors to its rooms. The Brady-Handy Collection grew out of that practice of photographing public men, and its glass negatives, made by Brady and later by Levin Handy, preserved a visual record of the era's leading figures. Portraits like this one show how formal photography had become an expected part of public life by the mid-1850s.
