"Lewis Cass, engraved by William G. Jackman" is an engraved portrait of Lewis Cass, a prominent American military officer, politician, and statesman who served in various capacities, including as Governor of the Michigan Territory, U.S. Senator, Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson, and Secretary of State under President James Buchanan. The engraving, created by William G. Jackman, a noted engraver active during the mid-19th century, is based on a photograph taken by Sutton & Bro., a photography firm known during that era.

The artwork is a reflection of the period's intersection between photography and engraving, a time when photographic images were often translated into engravings for reproduction in books, periodicals, and as standalone prints. Jackman's work captures the dignified likeness of Cass, who was a significant figure in American politics, particularly known for his role in the expansion and administration of U.S. territories.

William G. Jackman's career flourished during the 1840s to 1860s, a period that saw significant advancements in printmaking and the widespread dissemination of engraved portraits of political, military, and cultural leaders. The collaboration with Sutton & Bro. for the creation of this portrait underscores the collaborative nature of print production in the 19th century, combining the emerging technology of photography with the established art of engraving to produce images that could be shared with a broad audience.

The portrait of Lewis Cass by Jackman, derived from a photograph by Sutton & Bro., stands as a historical document, providing insight into the visual culture of the time and the ways in which influential figures were commemorated and idealized through the medium of engraving. It serves as a testament to Cass's legacy and the skill of Jackman as an engraver, as well as the evolving techniques of image-making in the pre-digital age.
