DescriptionA framed photograph of Governor Jeff Davis wearing a suit and hat. He is posed with his body slightly turned to the left with his head facing the camera while holding a cane on his right forearm. A curtain is in the background. The photo is framed with a gold painted wooden frame.

Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
