Description

John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 - February 23, 1848) was the sixth President of the United States (from 1825-1829). He was also an American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig parties. Adams was the son of President John Adams and Abigail Adams. As a diplomat, Adams was involved in many international negotiations, and, as Secretary of State, helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine. He was the first president to pose for a camera. This portrait was taken in March, 1843, in the studio of Philip Haas in Washington, D.C.
