: Joseph Hodges Choate (1832-1917): A Prominent American Lawyer, Diplomat, and Statesman In this striking portrait, Joseph Hodges Choate, an accomplished American lawyer, diplomat, and statesman, is depicted in formal attire, exuding confidence and intelligence. Born on October 20, 1832, Choate would go on to make significant contributions to American politics and diplomacy. Choate began his legal career in New York City and quickly rose to prominence, becoming a partner in the prestigious law firm of Choate, Hall & Stewart. His exceptional skills in the courtroom earned him a reputation as one of the foremost lawyers of his time. However, Choate's talents extended beyond the legal realm.

This image, taken in 1899, captures Choate in his role as a diplomat, representing the United States at the highest level. The portrait, published in Vanity Fair, highlights Choate's distinguished appearance and the gravity of his position. The background, adorned with ornate molding and rich fabrics, further emphasizes the grandeur of the embassy setting. Joseph Hodges Choate's career spanned various fields, from law to diplomacy, and his impact on American history is undeniable. This portrait serves as a testament to his achievements and enduring legacy. Image Courtesy of Mary Evans Picture Library, from Mary Evans Prints Online. (Not the company.) For editorial use only.
