EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Robert Lansing, who served as the United States Secretary of State from 1915 to 1920. In this photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in the 1910s, Lansing is depicted in formal attire, standing in a full-length pose against a plain background. He wears a dark suit, a crisp white shirt, and a conservative tie. In his right hand, he holds a briefcase, while his left hand rests on a small table, suggesting a sense of readiness and preparation. Lansing's appearance is that of a serious and accomplished diplomat, with a stern expression on his face and a thoughtful gaze. He is wearing a Panama hat, which was a popular fashion accessory for men at the time, especially for those in political or professional circles. The hat adds a touch of sophistication to his outfit and helps to define his identity as a man of the world. The photograph was likely taken during Lansing's tenure as Secretary of State, a position he held during a tumultuous period in American history. During his time in office, he played a key role in shaping U.S. foreign policy, including the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles following World War I. The image captures the gravity and importance of his role, as well as the style and fashion of the early 20th century. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives and 2,000 prints documenting life in the United States during the early 20th century. The collection is an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history and culture.
