EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Hale Holden at Desk, 1917," captures the intense focus and unwavering determination of Hale Holden, a prominent businessman of his time. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Holden seated at his desk, surrounded by the trappings of power and success. Holden was a man of significant influence in the early 20th century, serving as both the President of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Southern Pacific Railroad. His leadership in the railroad industry was instrumental in shaping the transportation landscape of the United States during this period. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a testament to the era's business culture and the importance of railways in American life. The glass negative captures Holden's serious expression, suggesting the weight of responsibility he carried. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The photograph's composition is simple yet effective, with Holden's strong posture and the clean lines of his desk creating a sense of order and control. The contrast between the light and dark areas adds depth and texture, making for a visually striking image. Harris & Ewing, the photography studio behind this photograph, was a leading provider of visual documentation during the early 1900s. The studio's work captured the essence of the era, from political figures to everyday people, and remains an invaluable resource for historians and researchers today.
