Additional Information
One of the wealthiest business people and philanthropists of modern America, John D. Rockefeller, is featured here in a portrait at the height of his success in 1895, two years before he stopped running the Standard Oil Company, which he had founded in 1870 and grown into one of the most successful businesses in the United States. Rockefeller was born into a large family in upstate New York and started working at the age of sixteen as an assistant bookkeeper before entering business partnerships at the age of twenty, which would lead to his more tremendous success, which garnered him a prominent place in American culture in the late nineteenth century as the industrial revolution spurred economic growth following the conclusion of the American Civil War and advances in technology sparked the so-called Gilded Age.
This era in American history marks a period of significant transformation. After his retirement, Rockefeller focused his philanthropic efforts on higher education and medicine. He also worked to help modernize the American South. Rockefeller, through the development of the distribution of petroleum products while reducing the coil production, had made Standard Oil one of the largest companies in American history.
This portrait of Rockefeller is not just a depiction of his spirit and presence, but a window into a bygone era. Its classic and distinctive style is emblematic of the period, making it an authentic piece of American photographic history. It immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present.
