EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, features Rep. Royal C. Johnson, an accomplished attorney and politician from South Dakota. Johnson is seen sitting at his office desk, surrounded by the trappings of his profession. The candlestick telephone on the desk, a symbol of communication and connection during the early 20th century, sits prominently in the foreground. Johnson's serious expression and attentive posture convey a sense of focus and dedication to his work. The papers and documents spread out before him attest to his busy schedule as a lawyer and legislator. The desk, with its ornate woodwork and leather surface, speaks to the respectability and stature of the man and his profession. At the time of this photograph, Johnson had already made a name for himself as a respected attorney in South Dakota. He would later go on to serve as the state's Attorney General and, in 1917, become the first African American to be elected to the United States Congress from South Dakota. This historic achievement came during a time when the political landscape was still largely dominated by white, male politicians. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century in America. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, was known for its high-quality portraits and candid images of everyday life. This image of Rep. Royal C. Johnson stands as a testament to the studio's ability to capture the essence of a man who would go on to make history.
