EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white group portrait, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, showcases a gathering of influential American politicians. Among them is William Jennings Bryan, the renowned lawyer and future Secretary of State, seated at a desk second from the right. His desk is adorned with a candlestick telephone, an electric lamp, and a framed photograph, while behind him hangs a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Josephus Daniels, a newspaper editor and publisher, and later Secretary of the Navy during World War I, is prominently featured in the middle of the second row. The group, consisting of men in suits, exudes an air of authority and importance. The use of candlestick telephones and electric lamps on their desks is a metaphor for the burgeoning communication technology of the time, while the presence of a glass negative on the table alludes to the role of photography in documenting history. The atmosphere in the room is one of focused energy, as these men discuss the pressing issues of the day. The use of natural light and the simple yet elegant furniture adds to the sense of authenticity and historical significance. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of American politics during the early 20th century.
