First published in 2005. Since the early nineteenth century, Byron,
the man and his image, have captured the hearts and minds of untold
legions of people of all political and social stripes in Britain,
Europe, America, and around the world. This book focuses on the
history and cultural significance for Federal America of the only
portrait of Byron known to have been painted by a major artist. In
private hands from 1826 until this day, Thomas Sulley's Byron has
never before been the subject of scholarly study. Beginning with
the discovery of the portrait in 1999 and a 200-year narrative of
the portrait's provenance and its relation to other well-known
Byron portraits, the author discusses the work within the broad
context of British and American portraiture of the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries.
