The caption identifies the sitter as the Honorable William Henry Lamport, a Republican representative from New York, which sets this portrait apart from the many studio likenesses of public men in the Brady-Handy collection. The picture dates to 1860, a year when the Republican Party was building its national campaign and New York was a major source of its political leaders. Mathew Brady's Washington studio made portraits of congressmen, officials and visiting figures during the years before the Civil War, and the collection preserves a broad record of that political world. Viewers today can read such portraits as both personal likenesses and documents of the period's politics.
