EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Food Administration, U.S. State Representative, Hoover, Wilbur... 1917," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image features two prominent American figures of the time: Herbert C. Hoover, center front, and Ray Lyman Wilbur, to the left and rear of Hoover. Both men were dressed in formal attire, reflecting the era's fashion trends. Hoover, who would later become the 31st President of the United States, wore a bow tie and a boater hat, while Wilbur, a U.S. State Representative and future Secretary of the Interior, donned a suit and a derby hat. The photograph was taken during World War I, a time when food supplies were critical to the war effort. Hoover, who had previously served as the U.S. Food Administrator, is depicted here in his official capacity, overseeing the country's food production and distribution. Wilbur, a doctor by profession, likely supported Hoover's efforts in this regard. The image is a metaphor for the collaborative spirit and unity required during times of crisis. Both men exude a sense of determination and focus, embodying the spirit of service and duty to country. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into American history and the fashion trends of the 1910s. The glass negative, taken by George H. Harris or one of his associates at Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the studio's skill and artistry in capturing historical moments.
