EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait, Dr. Carl L. Alsberg, a distinguished chemist, is seen in his role as the Chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry, serving as the Commissioner of Food and Drugs from 1912 to 1921. The image, captured by renowned photographers Harris & Ewing, depicts Dr. Alsberg in a serious yet approachable manner, sitting at a well-equipped laboratory bench, surrounded by various chemical apparatus and glass beakers. The background is blurred, drawing the viewer's focus to the subject. Dr. Alsberg's tenure as the head of the Bureau of Chemistry was a significant period in the history of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). During his service, he led the agency in implementing important regulations to ensure the safety and purity of food, drugs, and cosmetics. His efforts significantly contributed to the improvement of public health and consumer protection in the United States. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a testament to the scientific advancements and progress of the time. The image captures the essence of a dedicated scientist in his element, working diligently to improve the lives of the American people. The portrait, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, stands as a valuable historical document and a reminder of the crucial role that science and regulatory agencies play in our society.
