EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Little Congress,' dates back to the early 1910s and was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image depicts a group of civil servants, primarily secretaries and clerks, gathered in a boardroom setting. These individuals worked for US Representatives and Senators, and the 'Little Congress' was established to provide them with a platform for public-speaking experience and increased knowledge of parliamentary procedures. The room is adorned with ornate furnishings, including heavy wooden chairs and a grand chandelier, which add to the formal and official atmosphere. The men, dressed in suits and ties, sit attentively around the table, engrossed in their papers and paperwork. The women, dressed in modest dresses and hats, sit demurely to the side. The photograph is a metaphor for the old boys network or old boys club that was prevalent during this era, where male employees, particularly those in government and politics, formed exclusive groups to further their careers. The image is a testament to the importance of networking and professional development in the early 20th century. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which consists of over 40,000 glass negatives taken by the studio between 1915 and 1933. The collection is an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history during this period.
