EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Edward Nash Hurley (1874-1935), an Irish American businessman and inventor, in his office setting during the 1910s. Hurley is best known for his role as the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, a position he held from 1915 to 1933. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts Hurley seated at his desk, surrounded by various administrative tools and papers. The desk, adorned with a glass top and ornate woodwork, is reminiscent of the era's traditional office design. Hurley's attire, consisting of a formal suit and tie, further emphasizes his professional stature. The portrait also features a woman, believed to be Martha Kuntze Ewing (1883-1965), who was an employee of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, the creators of this image. Martha Ewing Newcombe, who later married George W. Harris, the co-founder of Harris & Ewing, is also known to have worked for the studio during this time. The presence of Martha in the portrait adds an intriguing layer to the image, hinting at the collaborative nature of the photographic process. Edward Nash Hurley's inventive spirit extended beyond his administrative duties. He is credited with developing the first practical process for producing synthetic rubber, which significantly contributed to the United States' industrial growth during World War I. This photograph serves as a testament to Hurley's multifaceted contributions to both business and science during the early 20th century.
