EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Charles Frederick Marvin, the Chief of the Weather Bureau, intently focused at his desk in 1916. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Marvin's dedication and commitment to his role as head of the federal meteorological agency. Established in 1891, the Weather Bureau was an essential component of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing weather forecasts and warnings to protect lives and property. Marvin, who served as Chief from 1913 to 1934, oversaw significant advancements in weather prediction and dissemination during his tenure. Marvin's portrait, taken at the Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, reveals a man deeply engrossed in his work. Surrounded by maps, charts, and meteorological instruments, Marvin appears poised to make critical decisions that could impact the nation. The photograph not only documents a pivotal moment in American meteorology but also encapsulates the spirit of scientific inquiry and dedication that defined the era. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the history of weather forecasting and the role of federal agencies in shaping scientific progress in the United States.
