EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1913, depicts US Postmaster General Albert Sidney Burleson and his wife, Mrs. Burleson. The image captures the couple in a formal setting, with Postmaster General Burleson dressed in a suit and hat, and his wife elegantly attired in a long dress and lace collar. The Postmaster General, who served from 1912 to 1914, is known for his significant contributions to the development of the US Postal Service during his tenure. He oversaw the expansion of rural free delivery and the implementation of airmail service. The couple's marriage is believed to have been a strong partnership, with Martha Kuntze Burleson supporting her husband's political career. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the personal lives of two influential figures during a pivotal time in American history. The image, filled with a sense of dignity and poise, is a testament to the enduring power of the photographic medium to capture moments in time and preserve history.
