EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, taken in 1917, we see John Hollis Bankhead, a prominent Representative from Alabama, proudly posing with his son, William Brockman Bankhead. John Hollis Bankhead served in the House of Representatives from 1887 to 1907 and later in the Senate from 1907 to 1920. The father-son duo is dressed in formal attire, reflecting the era's fashion trends. John Hollis Bankhead wears a three-piece suit, complete with a vest and a bow tie, while William B. Bankhead dons a shirt, tie, and a jacket. The elder Bankhead sports a fedora hat, adding an air of sophistication to his appearance. The photograph captures the strong bond between the two men, with John Hollis Bankhead placing a protective hand on his son's shoulder. The setting is unclear, but the background shows a glass-enclosed location, possibly a library or a congressional office. This image is an excellent representation of the political landscape of the early 20th century in America. The father, a seasoned lawmaker and legislator, passes on his legacy to his son, who would later become a Representative himself, serving from 1937 to 1940 and 1947 to 1965. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents various aspects of American life during the 20th century. The image is a testament to the rich history of politics and family in the United States.
