EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, we see a distinguished figure from American political history, John Hollis Bankhead, seated amongst an intimate gathering. Bankhead, who served as a Representative from Alabama from 1887 to 1907 and later as a Senator from 1907 to 1920, is captured here with his two granddaughters, Tallulah and Evelyn Eugenia Bankhead. The scene takes place at a Confederate Reunion in Washington D.C., an event that likely drew together veterans and their families to commemorate the past. Bankhead, dressed in a formal suit and holding a cigar, exudes an air of authority and wisdom. His granddaughters, Tallulah, aged 15, and Evelyn Eugenia, stand beside him, dressed in elegant turn-of-the-century attire. Tallulah, who would later become a celebrated actress, is seen on the left, her gaze fixed on the camera with a confident smile. Evelyn Eugenia, on the right, gazes demurely down, her hands folded in her lap. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion of the era, the heritage of the Confederacy, and the close bond between generations. The image is a testament to the rich history of America, its people, and their stories. This photograph, part of the vast Harris & Ewing Collection, is a treasure trove of 20th-century history, capturing moments in time that continue to intrigue and inspire us today.
