Description

Black and white photograph of a portrait of John Seely Hart, Second President of the Central High School, by Thomas Eakins (Goodrich #366). The accompanying text includes the following:

"Presentation of a portrait of John Seely Hart, President of Central High School from 1842 to 1858, the gift of an alumnus, by Professor Franklin S. Edmonds. ... The portrait of Professor Hart hanging upon yonder wall is not only a gift of an alumnus of the Hart period: it is the work of an artist who was himself a student in the High School under John Seely Hart. Thomas Eakins has won signal honors in the artistic field; at the recent Buffalo Pan-American Exposition his work received the highest possible commendation; and yet I venture to say that there is nothing he has done recently that has given so much pleasure to him as to put upon canvas the features of his old-time principal."
