EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Philander C. Knox, an influential American lawyer and statesman, during his visit to Guatemala City, Guatemala in 1912. Knox, dressed in a formal suit and hat, stands before a beautiful fountain in the city's central plaza, now known as Plaza Mayor or Santiago Square. The serene water feature adds an element of tranquility to the bustling scene of the city's busy streets and people in the background. At the time of this visit, Knox served as the United States Secretary of State under President William Howard Taft. His diplomatic mission to Central America and the West Indies aimed to strengthen American relations with these countries and address various political and economic issues. Knox's visit to Guatemala was significant, as it marked the formal recognition of the new government following the country's civil war. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned American photographic studio based in Washington, D.C. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and coverage of important political events. This image is a testament to the studio's ability to capture historical moments and preserve them for future generations. Today, this photograph is part of the George W. Harris and Company Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying American history and diplomacy during the early 20th century.
