EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, taken in 1917, John Hollis Bankhead, the esteemed Representative from Alabama, is seen sharing a warm handshake with his proud 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. His political legacy was significant, and his influence extended beyond his tenure in Congress. The father-son duo is dressed in formal attire, reflective of the era. John Hollis Bankhead wears a dark suit, complete with a bowler hat, while William B. Bankhead dons a crisp shirt, suspenders, and a jacket. The photograph captures a moment of connection between the two, showcasing the strong bond between them. The setting of the image is undoubtedly formal, with the father and son standing in front of a plain backdrop, likely in a studio. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives taken by the renowned photographic studio between 1912 and 1933. This photograph is a testament to the Bankhead political dynasty, which continued with William B. Bankhead's tenure as a Representative from Alabama from 1917 to 1940. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the enduring legacy of political leadership.
