EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Thomas Coman" transports us back to the 19th century. Created in 1869 by American School artist J. Rogers, this print showcases the distinguished figure of Thomas Coman (1836-1909). Coman's prominent moustache and Victorian attire exude an air of authority and sophistication. As we delve into his intriguing backstory, we discover that he held significant political positions in New York City during a transformative period. From 1868 to 1871, Coman served as President of the New York City Board of Aldermen. However, it was his brief stint as acting Mayor that truly highlights his importance in local politics. When Mayor John Thompson Hoffman resigned from office for a month, Coman stepped up until A. Oakley Hall assumed the position. This portrait captures Coman's half-length profile with meticulous detail through stipple engraving techniques. The artwork emanates a sense of power and influence befitting a seasoned politician like him. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artifact offers us an intimate glimpse into the life and times of Thomas Coman—a man who played an integral role in shaping New York City's governance during its formative years.
