EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, created by Harris & Ewing in 1917, captures Clyde Bruce Atchison in the midst of his duties as a Commissioner for the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) of the United States. The image finds Atchison seated at his office desk, surrounded by the trappings of bureaucracy and communication technology of the era. A candlestick telephone sits prominently on the table, while a pole telephone can be seen outside the window. Atchison's serious expression and focused gaze convey the importance of the work he is engaged in. The photograph is a testament to the role of the ICC during this period in American history, as the organization played a crucial role in regulating interstate commerce and ensuring fair business practices. The use of telecommunications technology, such as the telephone, was essential for the efficient operation of the Commission and the conduct of its business. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives produced by the Washington, D.C. based studio between 1912 and 1933. The collection offers a rich visual record of American life during the early 20th century, and this image of Clyde Bruce Atchison provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of bureaucracy and communication during this time.
