EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1912, captures a significant moment in political history. The image features Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina, the Resident Commissioner from the Philippines, at the Democratic National Convention. Quezon, a lawyer and politician, was a key figure in the Philippine Revolution and played a crucial role in the country's transition from Spanish colonial rule to American administration. Dressed in formal attire, Quezon is seen seated at a table, surrounded by other men in suits, likely fellow politicians or delegates. The convention, held in Chicago that year, was a pivotal event in American politics, with Woodrow Wilson emerging as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Quezon, who was a strong advocate for Philippine independence, attended the convention to lobby for Filipino representation in the U.S. Congress. The photograph, taken as a glass negative, is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent force in Washington D.C.'s photographic scene during the early 20th century. The image offers a glimpse into the political landscape of the time, showcasing the people and events that shaped American and Filipino history.
