EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, we see Albert Sidney Burleson, a prominent Rep. from Texas during the early 1900s. The image captures Burleson in a formal setting, dressed in a suit and wearing a Panama hat, as he engages in the serious business of politics. Burleson served as a Representative from Texas from 1899 to 1913, and later became the Postmaster General from 1913 to 1921. During his tenure as Postmaster General, he oversaw significant changes in the postal service, including the implementation of the Parcel Post system and the establishment of the Rural Free Delivery service. The photograph shows Burleson in a thoughtful pose, with one hand resting on a stack of papers and the other holding a hat. The setting appears to be a formal office or studio, with a large window behind him letting in natural light. The glass negatives of this photograph are part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The image offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 1900s, with Burleson's well-tailored suit and Panama hat reflecting the trends of the time. The photograph also underscores the importance of communication and paperwork in the political process, with Burleson's focused expression and the papers on the table suggesting the seriousness of the work at hand. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant American lawmaker and the era in which he served.
