EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken between 1900 and 1916, we find Delegate James Wickersham, the assayer, and Frank G. Carpenter standing in front of the Assayer's Office in Fairbanks, Alaska. The image captures a moment in time during the early 20th century, when the Alaskan frontier was still a bustling hub of activity. Delegate Wickersham, dressed in a formal suit and hat, exudes an air of authority and importance as he stands next to Frank G. Carpenter, who dons a more casual outfit consisting of bib overalls and a checked shirt. Carpenter, a carpenter by trade, seems at ease in his work clothes, adding a contrasting element to the formal attire of the delegate. The Assayer's Office, with its wooden doors and bentwood furniture, serves as the backdrop for this scene. The doors, which are slightly ajar, hint at the business that goes on inside, while the furniture adds a touch of warmth and hominess to the image. The doorway also serves as a symbol of opportunity and progress, as it represents the entrance to a place where valuable resources are assessed and evaluated. The photograph offers a glimpse into the diverse fashion trends of the time, with Delegate Wickersham representing the more traditional and formal style of the era, and Frank G. Carpenter embodying the practical and utilitarian clothing that was common among those working in the Alaskan wilderness. The image also provides a glimpse into the daily life of Fairbanks during this period, offering a unique perspective on the people and culture of Alaska during the early 1900s. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historic images of Alaska and the United States, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history that continues to shape our world today.
