EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment at the Democratic National Convention in 1912, featuring Frank Harris Hitchcock, the Postmaster General of the United States from 1909 to 1913. Hitchcock, dressed in formal attire, dons a straw boater hat and wears a serious expression as he engages in conversation with an unidentified man. The setting is the Democratic National Convention, an event where political parties officially nominate their candidates for presidential elections. Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., captured this image during the pivotal year of 1912. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and his wife Martha Ewing Harris, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its extensive coverage of political events. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, which is now housed in the Library of Congress. Frank Harris Hitchcock was a prominent figure in American politics during this era. As Postmaster General, he oversaw the operations of the United States Postal Service, a critical component of the country's communication infrastructure. Hitchcock's tenure as Postmaster General spanned from 1909 to 1913, making him an influential figure during the early years of the 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and political climate of the time, with Hitchcock's formal attire and the man's suit and straw boater reflecting the era's sartorial trends. The image also underscores the importance of political conventions in shaping the political landscape of the United States.
