EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Baseball, Congressional - Lafferty, Abraham Walter, Rep. from Oregon, 1911-1915, 1911," captures a moment in American history as Abraham Walter Lafferty, a Congressman from Oregon, takes a break from his legislative duties to enjoy a game of baseball. The image, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, showcases Lafferty in full baseball uniform, complete with a cap emblazoned with the insignia of his team. He holds a baseball bat casually, while his headdress and headgear sit on the bench next to him. The photograph was taken during Lafferty's tenure in Congress, which lasted from 1911 to 1915. The setting is likely the Congressional Baseball Game, an annual tradition that began in 1865 and continues to this day. The game pits members of the United States House of Representatives against members of the United States Senate in a friendly competition. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and leisure activities of the early 20th century. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this image, is an important part of the Library of Congress's holdings, providing a rich and diverse record of American history. The photograph's creators, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, were prominent figures in the Washington, D.C. photography scene during the early 1900s. Their studio, Harris Ewing & Company, produced thousands of images documenting American life during this period. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of politics and baseball in the United States over a century ago.
