Vintage portrait print of American judge Roger B. Taney (1777 - 1864) - the fifth US Chief Justice (1836 - 1864). Taney is particularly remembered for the controversial Supreme Court majority opinion he delivered in the case of Dred Scott v Sandford (1857) which, among other things, ruled that slaves brought from Africa and their descendants, even if they were free, were not US citizens. Taney also served as US Attorney General from 1831 to 1833 and US Secretary of the Treasury from 1833 to 1834. Lithograph circa 1894 by Kurz & Allison.
