A Harper’s Weekly profile of Congressman Charles Boutelle was accompanied by a portrait “drawn from life by George W. Breck.” The article touted his experience as Chairman and then Ranking Member of the Naval Affairs Committee and his background as a sailor: “In the breezy dash and steady glow of his energies appears his inheritance of seamanship and the characteristics of his ocean education.”
