EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Charles Frederick Marvin, the Chief of the Weather Bureau in 1913, is seen seated at his desk, deep in thought. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Marvin's focused expression and the meticulous organization of his office. The Weather Bureau, a federal agency responsible for meteorological research and forecasting, was a critical component of the United States' infrastructure during this era. Marvin's attire, consisting of a formal suit and tie, underscores the importance of his role in the scientific community. The desk, adorned with various documents and equipment, reflects the rigorous nature of his work. A large glass negative sits prominently on the desk, a testament to the photographic techniques used in meteorological research during this time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a dedicated meteorologist, whose work played a significant role in the safety and well-being of the American people. Marvin's tenure as Chief of the Weather Bureau lasted from 1913 to 1934, making him a pivotal figure in the early history of meteorological research and forecasting in the United States. This image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical record of a man and his occupation, as well as the evolution of meteorological science in the United States during the 1910s.
