The picture shows Daniel Webster's country estate at Marshfield, on the coast of Plymouth County, where the statesman spent much of his later life. Webster had served in the Senate and as secretary of state, and in his final years he retreated to Marshfield to farm, raise cattle, and receive visitors seeking his counsel. He died there in October 1852, and scenes of the house from this period recall the quiet close of a career that had shaped national debates for decades. Admirers at the time valued such views as a record of a man closely tied to the Union.
