"Major General Alexander Macomb 1782-1842, engraved by James Barton Longacre 1794-1869 by Thomas Sully" is a notable work that captures the likeness of one of the United States' prominent military figures from the early 19th century. Alexander Macomb, born in 1782, served with distinction in the United States Army and is best remembered for his role in the War of 1812, particularly for his leadership during the Battle of Plattsburgh, which earned him national acclaim and a Congressional Gold Medal. His military career culminated in his appointment as the Commanding General of the United States Army, a position he held from 1828 until his death in 1841.

The portrait of Macomb was painted by Thomas Sully, a renowned American portrait artist known for his elegant and refined style. Sully, born in 1783, was a prolific painter whose works include portraits of many notable figures of his time, including President Andrew Jackson and the Marquis de Lafayette. His ability to capture the character and stature of his subjects made him one of the most sought-after portraitists of the 19th century.

The engraving of Sully's portrait was executed by James Barton Longacre, an accomplished engraver born in 1794. Longacre is perhaps best known for his later work as the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, a position he held from 1844 until his death in 1869. His engraving of Macomb's portrait is a testament to his skill in translating the nuances of Sully's painting into the medium of print, ensuring that the image could be widely disseminated and appreciated.

This collaboration between Sully and Longacre resulted in a work that not only commemorates Major General Macomb's military achievements but also serves as an example of the artistic talents of two of America's notable 19th-century artists. The portrait and its engraving have historical significance, reflecting the era's artistic practices and the importance of military heroes in the young nation's cultural memory.
