"Henry Laurens Esqr, President Of The American Congress 1778" is an engraving by the British artist Valentine Green, created in the late 18th century. Valentine Green, renowned for his mezzotint engravings, was a prominent figure in the art world during this period. He was born on October 3, 1739, in Halesowen, Worcestershire, England, and became one of the foremost engravers of his time, known for his ability to capture the subtleties of light and shadow.

The subject of the engraving, Henry Laurens, was a significant figure in American history. Born on March 6, 1724, in Charleston, South Carolina, Laurens was a wealthy merchant and rice planter who played a crucial role in the American Revolutionary War. He served as the President of the Continental Congress from November 1, 1777, to December 9, 1778, during a pivotal time in the struggle for American independence. Laurens was also a diplomat and was captured by the British in 1780 while en route to negotiate a treaty with the Dutch, leading to his imprisonment in the Tower of London.

Green's engraving of Laurens is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. It captures Laurens in a dignified pose, reflecting his status and contributions to the American cause. The work is a testament to the transatlantic connections between Britain and America during the Revolutionary era, highlighting the complex relationships and exchanges that occurred despite the conflict.

This engraving is part of a larger body of work by Valentine Green, who produced numerous portraits of prominent figures of his time. His works are held in high regard and can be found in various collections, including those of major museums and galleries. Green's ability to convey the character and importance of his subjects through his engravings has cemented his reputation as a master of the mezzotint technique.
