Frederick Douglass Portrait

August 3, 2017 @ 8:00 am - August 6, 2017 @ 10:00 pm

                

 

It is widely considered that the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass was the most photographed American of the 19th century.  The Union League of Philadelphia, Douglass’ likeness was honored once again with a new portrait.  Produced by renowned artist Jordon Sokol, the painting pays tribute to Douglass’ work during a time when the country fought for its survival against the confederacy. After a year of searching for an existing portrait, Sokol was awarded the commission in September of last year.
