EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing Newton Diehl Baker, an influential American political figure who served as the United States Secretary of War from 1916 to 1921. In this striking photograph, Baker is depicted in a formal attire typical of the early 20th century. He wears a dark suit, a crisp white shirt, and a bowler hat, which was a popular choice among businessmen and politicians during that era. Baker's serious expression and stern gaze convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting his important role in shaping national policy during a pivotal period in American history. This photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned Washington, D.C. photographic studio. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902, was known for its high-quality portraits of politicians, lawmakers, and other notable figures. This image, taken in the 1910s, is part of the vast Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The image, with its excellent contrast and composition, is a testament to the studio's mastery of the art of photography. Baker's tenure as Secretary of War saw him overseeing the mobilization of the military during World War I, making him a key figure in the United States' involvement in the conflict. His leadership and strategic decisions played a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of Baker's significant contributions to American history and the important role that photography plays in preserving and documenting the past.
