The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science. Very Good-. 1859. Engraving. From the November 1859 issue of The Eclectic Magazine; 1 pages; Steel engraved portrait of RUFUS CHOATE with facsimile autograph at base. Image measures 12cm X 16cm, plate measures 16cm X 25cm Foxing at margins. Engraved by John Sartain, Philadelphia for the Eclectic Magazine. The attribution line below this image reads "ENGR. BY JOHN SARTAIN. Phila." Although several of Sartain's engraved portraits of emminent Americans for the 'Eclectic Magazine' mention photographic sources, this one does not. Nonetheless, it should, as Sartain's striking head-on image of Choate is clearly inspired by a Daguerreotype made by the pioneering American photographers Southworth & Hawes -- Albert Sands Southworth [1811–1894] and Josiah Johnson Hawes [1808–1901] worked together between 1843-1863 from their premises, "Daguerreotype Rooms, No 5-1/2 Tremont Row, Boston". Harvard's Fogg Museum, The Getty, and the Library of Congress all have albumen print photographs showing the source image for this engraving, And it appears that Southworth and Hawes may have copyrighted the image in 1859; but it is almost certain from the evidence and the appearance of the rugged Choate, that Southworth and Hawes original image would have been a Daguerreotype... an art of which they were early masters. Another full plate image they made of Rufus Choate is preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art -- (showing a seated Choate, probably wearing this same coat, and of a similar age). Rufus Choate (October 1, 1799 – July 13, 1859) was an American lawyer, orator, and Congressman. In the Senate, he spoke on the tariff, the Oregon boundary, in favor of the Fiscal Bank Act, and in opposition to the annexation of Texas. In 1856, he refused to follow most of his former Whig associates into the Republican Party and gave his support to Democrat James Buchanan, whom he considered the representative of a national instead of a sectional party. ., The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, 1859, 3, Duncan Baird.
