19th Century Framed Lithograph of Martin Van Buren

About the Item

This is a lithograph of Martin Van Buren, who was the 8th President of the United States. It is most likely from the book "Portrait Gallery of Distinguished American Citizens", which contained a rare group of prints taken from silhouettes cut by William Henry Brown (1808-1883), who was one of the most famous and best practitioners of the now almost lost art of silhouette cutting. Around 1843, Brown contracted with the well-known Hartford lithographic firm of E.B. & E.C. Kellogg to issue a number of lithographs based on his silhouettes of “Distinguished American Citizens,” and this resulted in a bound volume of these prints.
