EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1913 and 1917, presents an elderly John Burroughs, an American naturalist, conservationist, and nature essayist, in contemplative repose. The image captures the wisdom and experience etched on his bearded face, as he gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. John Burroughs (1837-1921) was a prolific writer and advocate for the preservation of nature, whose works inspired generations of naturalists and conservationists. His essays, which often focused on the natural world around his home in the Catskill Mountains of New York, were widely read and influential. This portrait, taken during the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of this important figure in American literature and conservation. The image was likely taken at Harris & Ewing's photographic studio, located in Washington D.C., where the company produced high-quality portraits for clients from all walks of life. The photograph is a glass negative, a common method of capturing images during this time period. The use of this technique allowed for a greater range of tonality and detail, resulting in a striking and evocative image that has endured the test of time.
