EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1915, Agamemnon Schliemann, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Greece, is seen posing with two unidentified individuals, likely members of his entourage. Schliemann, the son of renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, served as the Greek ambassador to the United States during a pivotal period in American-Greek relations. Dressed in formal attire, Schliemann wears a crisp suit and a straw boater hat, which was a popular fashion accessory for men during the early 20th century. His companions, both dressed in elegant clothing, complement Schliemann's appearance with their own stylish outfits. The setting of the photograph is uncertain, but it is believed to have been taken in Washington D.C., where Schliemann would have conducted diplomatic business with the U.S. government. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent American photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and his wife Martha Ewing Harris in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and portraits of prominent figures from politics, society, and culture. This image, which captures Schliemann and his companions in a formal and dignified pose, is a testament to the studio's skill in capturing the essence of its subjects. Today, this photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which contains over 40,000 glass negatives and 15,000 prints documenting American life in the early 20th century. It serves as an important historical record of a pivotal moment in American-Greek diplomacy and a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the era.
