It joins a large group of other early visual representations in the NPG's assortment, including what is accepted to be the earliest photo of a US president, a 1843 daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams by Philip Haas, which was procured by the gallery in 2017.

Notwithstanding his representation of Madison, he made the earliest surviving picture of the US State house.
