EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, showcases a group of influential men gathered around a cluttered office desk. At the center of the image, American politician and newspaper editor Josephus Daniels sits confidently, engrossed in paperwork with a candlestick telephone at his side. Daniels served as the Secretary of the Navy during World War I, a testament to his significant role in the country's history. The other men in the photograph, likely his employees or colleagues, appear attentive and engaged, reflecting the bustling atmosphere of a busy office. The scene is a metaphor for the old boys network or club, a concept that thrived during this era, where relationships and connections played a crucial role in employment and career advancement. The glass negative, a common photographic process of the time, captures the intricacies of the room's furnishings, from the ornate desk to the various papers scattered about. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a legislator or lawmaker during the early 20th century, a period of significant change and progress in American history. The photograph, part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the lives and occupations of the time. Its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of American heritage.
