John Hanson:

Yeah. Trying to track down who the picture is. Here is a full version of the image from the Library of Congress Web site:

But I can't figure out the page its on to know the context. Odds are it is a different person named John Hanson. More to the point, though, is that it appears to be a photograph which, of course, is a technology that did not exist in the 1780s.

Ok, here is the context of the photo.

It is from the 1856-1860 period and is a daguerreotype (also not available in 1781). He was part of the effort to relocate American slaves and freed-slaves to Liberia and later was a senator in that country. No relation to the John Hanson in question.
