EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Herbert C. Hoover, 1917," captures a young and energetic Herbert Hoover, then a successful businessman and future 31st President of the United States. Taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, the image was likely commissioned for promotional purposes or for Hoover's personal collection. Herbert Hoover, born in West Branch, Iowa, in 1874, had already made a name for himself as a mining engineer and businessman before the image was taken. Here, he is depicted standing confidently beside an automobile, a symbol of the modern age and the growing importance of transportation in American life. The car, a testament to Hoover's prosperity, adds to the overall impression of success and ambition. The photograph was taken during a pivotal time in Hoover's career. He had just been appointed as the U.S. Food Administrator during World War I, a position that would catapult him into the national spotlight and set the stage for his eventual run for the presidency. The image, therefore, not only serves as a portrait of a successful businessman but also as a snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent Washington, D.C. photography studio founded by George H. Harris, Martha Ewing Newcombe, and George W. Harris. The studio, which operated from 1912 to 1955, was known for its high-quality work and its extensive clientele, which included politicians, celebrities, and other notable figures. The studio's collection, now housed at the Library of Congress, offers a rich visual record of American history and culture in the early 20th century.
