EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we see Benjamin Davis, an assistant to the renowned American politician and three-time presidential candidate, William Jennings Bryan. The image, taken in 1913, captures Davis in a formal business attire, sitting at a desk in an office setting. His serious expression and focused gaze convey a sense of dedication and commitment to his role as a civil servant. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent Washington D.C. photography studio founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and became a go-to source for political and social documentation in the early 20th century. This particular photograph is a testament to the studio's ability to capture the essence of its subjects and preserve historical moments. Benjamin Davis's occupation as an assistant to William Jennings Bryan is significant, as Bryan was a major figure in American politics during the early 1900s. He served as the United States Secretary of State from 1897 to 1898 and ran for president three times, in 1896, 1900, and 1908. Davis likely played a crucial role in supporting Bryan's political endeavors and implementing his policies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a civil servant during the 1910s and provides valuable context to the historical record of American politics and government. The image is a testament to the important role that dedicated individuals like Benjamin Davis played in shaping the country's political landscape.
