EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the stern and determined gaze of General Leonidas Plaza y Gutierrez de Caviedes, who served as the President of Ecuador from 1912 to 1916. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases Plaza's distinctive beard and serious expression, which convey a sense of leadership and resolve. Born on August 2, 1857, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Plaza rose through the ranks of the military to become a prominent political figure in his country. He played a significant role in the revolution of 1895, which led to the ousting of President Ezequiel Crespo. Plaza's military career continued to flourish, and he eventually became the Commander-in-Chief of the Ecuadorian Army. In 1912, Plaza was elected as the President of Ecuador, serving for a term marked by economic instability and political turmoil. Despite these challenges, Plaza worked to stabilize the country's finances and improve its infrastructure. He also pursued a policy of neutrality in international affairs, which helped to maintain peace and stability in the region. This photograph, taken during Plaza's presidency, is a testament to his strong leadership and unwavering commitment to his country. The image is a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people and events of the early 20th century in the Americas. The exact creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the historical record of Ecuador and its political leaders. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a moment in history when Plaza was at the helm of his country's destiny. The photograph is a reminder of the rich political heritage of Ecuador and the important role that its leaders have played in shaping the country's history.
