Summary
Details

""The Portraits of Increase Mather"" is an insightful scholarly exploration of the visual legacy of one of colonial America's most influential figures. This work meticulously examines the various likenesses of Increase Mather, the renowned Puritan minister and president of Harvard College, providing a unique window into the personal iconography and public image of a man who stood at the center of political and religious life in 17th-century Massachusetts.

In addition to its focus on Mather, the work includes specialized notes on Thomas Johnson, an English mezzotinter, offering valuable context on the artistic techniques and transatlantic cultural exchanges of the period. This volume serves as an essential resource for art historians and students of early American history, bridging the gap between biography and art history. Through its detailed examination of engravings and paintings, ""The Portraits of Increase Mather"" highlights the intersection of Puritan leadership and visual culture, preserving the historical record of a pivotal era in the development of American identity.
