EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Presentation of Roman Medals to Baker & March," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image showcases an esteemed moment in American history as United States Army General Peyton Conway March (center) shakes hands with Newton Diehl Baker Jr. (to General March's left). Baker, an influential figure during the First World War, served as the Secretary of War from 1916 to 1921. General March's attire, consisting of jodhpurs and a tunic, reflects the military uniform of the era. Baker, dressed in formal attire, dons a suit and dress shirt. The one-armed man, whose identity remains unknown, stands proudly between these two distinguished gentlemen. The presentation of Roman medals symbolizes the recognition and appreciation of their significant contributions to the country during a pivotal time in American history. The image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends, political landscape, and social norms of the early 20th century. The photograph's historical significance lies in its documentation of the camaraderie and respect shared between these two influential figures, as well as the representation of the resilience and determination of the one-armed man in the presence of such esteemed company.
