EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nahum Capen Esq Postmaster Boston 1859" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. The image, captured by the renowned artist Winslow Homer, showcases Nahum Capen, an esteemed figure who held the prestigious position of Postmaster in Boston during the year 1859. In this wood engraving, we see Mr. Capen exuding confidence and authority as he poses for the camera. His stern expression hints at his dedication to his role and responsibilities within the bustling city's postal service. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every line etched into the wood brings out intricate features on Mr. Capen's face and highlights his distinguished attire. Winslow Homer, known for his ability to capture human emotions through art, has masterfully portrayed Nahum Capen's character with great precision. This print serves as a testament not only to Homer's artistic prowess but also to Capen's influential presence within Boston society during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how far our postal system has come since those early days when individuals like Nahum Capen played a crucial role in connecting communities across America. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate and honor these unsung heroes who shaped our nation's infrastructure centuries ago.
