EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we see Joseph Little Bristow, a prominent figure in American politics during the early 1900s. At the time this image was taken in 1911, Bristow served as the Assistant Postmaster General of the United States. However, his political career did not end there. In 1909, he was elected as a Senator from the state of Kansas, a position he held until 1915. Bristow is depicted here in a formal attire typical of the early 1900s. He wears a dark suit, a crisp white shirt, and a dark tie. His hat of choice is a straw boater, which was a popular fashion accessory among men during this era. The Senator's posture is confident and poised, reflecting his leadership qualities. The photograph was taken at the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C., which was known for its high-quality portraits of politicians and other notable figures. The studio was run by George W. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, and later by their daughter, Martha Ewing Newcombe, and her husband, Guy Newcombe. This image is an important historical document that captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American political history. It provides a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the country's political landscape. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American political history and the enduring legacy of the Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio.
