EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Pujo Committee, a prominent group of Wall Street financiers and lawyers who came under investigation during the early 1910s for their control over the nation's finances. The Pujo Committee, officially known as the House Committee on Banking and Currency, was formed in response to growing public concern over the so-called 'money trust' and its influence on American business and politics. In this image, we see the committee members, including James Francis Byrnes, James Alexander Daugherty, Frank Edward Gurnsey, Everis Anson Hayes, William Henry Heald, Henry Gordon McMorran, George Arthur Neeley, Arsene Paulin Pujo, and Samuel J. Untermyer. The men are dressed in formal attire, exuding an air of authority and confidence. Among them are lawyers and financiers, men who held significant power and influence in American society. The Pujo Committee's investigation led to the breakup of several large financial institutions and marked a turning point in American financial regulation. The photograph serves as a testament to a pivotal moment in American history, when the balance of power began to shift from the hands of a few influential men to the regulatory bodies of the government. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. and New York City. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was known for its high-quality work and its coverage of political events. This image, taken in 1912, is a valuable addition to the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress.
