EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, taken in 1917, we find Robert Crosser, a Representative from Ohio, engaging in conversation with T.K. Giragossian, an Armenian inventor. Crosser served in Congress from 1913 to 1923, and here he is seen dressed in a formal suit and hat, exuding an air of authority. Giragossian, on the other hand, is an intriguing figure. He was an Armenian inventor who claimed to have developed a perpetual motion machine. The machine, named "Garabed," was said to take energy from the cosmos and convert it into mechanical motion. However, the scientific community was skeptical of this claim, and it is now believed that Giragossian's machine was a fraud. Despite the controversy surrounding Giragossian and his invention, this photograph captures a moment in time when two men from different worlds came together. The image, taken in full length, showcases the fashion of the era, with Crosser dressed in a formal suit and Giragossian wearing a more casual outfit. The photograph is a testament to the human curiosity and the pursuit of innovation, even if that innovation turns out to be fraudulent. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century in America. It is a reminder of the rich history that surrounds us and the stories that lie within the frames of old photographs.
