EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1911, we see George Walbridge Perkins, a prominent American financier and politician, dressed in formal attire of the era. Perkins stands confidently in a full-length portrait, his dark suit and crisp white shirt contrasting against the dark background. The highlight of his outfit is the bowler hat perched atop his head, a common accessory for businessmen of the time. George Walbridge Perkins (1862-1931) was a significant figure in American finance and politics. He served as a member of the United States Congress from 1893 to 1895, representing the 17th district of New York. After leaving politics, Perkins focused on his financial career, becoming a partner in the investment firm J.P. Morgan & Co. This photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H.W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902, was known for its high-quality portrait photography and was a popular destination for politicians, business leaders, and socialites. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The collection contains over 40,000 glass negatives and 25,000 prints, documenting life in the United States during the early 20th century. This photograph of George Walbridge Perkins is a testament to the studio's ability to capture the essence of its subjects, providing a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and society of the time.
