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 figures of the time: Herbert C. Hoover, center front, and Ray Lyman Wilbur, to the left and rear of Hoover. Both men were instrumental in the U.S. response to the First World War, with Hoover serving as the U.S. Food Administrator and Wilbur as a U.S. State Representative. Hoover, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a bow tie, exudes a sense of authority and determination. His stern gaze and clenched fist convey the gravity of the food conservation efforts during the war. Wilbur, wearing a boater hat and a light-colored suit, adds a touch of contrast and casualness to the image. The doctor and former professor's calm and collected demeanor complements Hoover's intensity, highlighting the collaborative efforts of these two influential men. The photograph is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history, showcasing the dedication and commitment of its leaders during a time of crisis. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the 1910s and the First World War era. The fashion and apparel of the period are also of interest, with Hoover's formal attire and Wilbur's boater hat providing a glimpse into the sartorial trends of the day. Overall, this photograph is a captivating metaphor for the collaborative spirit and resilience of the American people during a time of great need.
