EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1917, Charles E. Lobdell is depicted in formal attire, standing confidently before the imposing facade of the United States Treasury building. Lobdell, a prominent banker and lawyer, served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1911 to 1917. Dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and bowler hat, he cuts an authoritative figure against the backdrop of the ornate architectural details of the Treasury building. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned Washington D.C. photographic studio founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and produced numerous portraits of politicians, lawyers, and other prominent figures of the time. This particular image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held by the Library of Congress. Lobdell's career in politics began in 1886 when he was elected to the Ohio State Senate. He served in the House of Representatives from 1893 to 1899 and was a key figure in the passage of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1894. After leaving Congress, he returned to his legal practice and banking career, eventually becoming a partner in the National City Bank of New York. The photograph captures a moment in American history when the country was undergoing significant political and economic changes. Lobdell's stern expression and formal attire reflect the seriousness and importance of the times, while the grandeur of the Treasury building underscores the power and influence of the financial institutions that shaped the nation's economic landscape. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Harris & Ewing as a documenter of American history and a reflection of the country's political and cultural milieu during the early 20th century.
