Fotomontage van 33 Amerikaanse politici before 1871

This 19th-century photographic montage by Edric L. Eaton features 33 American politicians. Created before 1871, the image consists of individual portraits, likely taken from various sources, arranged into a grid format. This type of photomontage was common in the mid-19th century, and highlights the emerging popularity of photography in visual representation. The small size (123mm x 82mm) suggests it may have been part of a book or publication, possibly an almanac or political compendium. The selection of individuals and the format of the image offer a glimpse into the social and political landscape of the era.
