EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving, created in 1889 by an anonymous American artist, offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential figures - John D. Rockefeller. Known as an oil magnate and industrialist extraordinaire, Rockefeller's legacy continues to shape our world today. In this striking profile portrait, we see a distinguished gentleman with a well-groomed moustache that exudes confidence and power. The image captures his late years when he had already established himself as the epitome of success in the business world. Rockefeller's piercing gaze reveals a man who was not only driven but also shrewd in his pursuit of wealth and influence. As the founder of Standard Oil Company, he revolutionized the oil industry and became one of America's wealthiest individuals during his time. The engraving showcases Rockefeller amidst other prominent men from that era, symbolizing their collective impact on shaping society. These individuals were often referred to as "robber barons" representing both their immense wealth and controversial practices. As we delve into this historical artifact from The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of how one man can leave an indelible mark on history through sheer determination and ambition. John D. Rockefeller stands tall among these giants; his story is one that continues to inspire generations to reach for greatness against all
