EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, Secretary of State Robert Lansing (1864-1928) is seen in a formal conversation with John W. Davis (1873-1955). Lansing, who served as Secretary of State from 1915 to 1920, is depicted in a serious demeanor, wearing a dark suit and tie, as he listens intently to Davis, who was a prominent lawyer and Democratic Party politician at the time. The setting for this image is likely a grand, ornate room, with a large window behind Lansing allowing natural light to filter in. The high-quality glass negatives used by Harris & Ewing capture every detail of the men's attire and the intricate design of the room, transporting viewers back to a bygone era. Davis, who later served as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in the 1924 election, is dressed in a similarly formal attire, with a crisp white shirt and dark suit. His expression is more animated, as he speaks passionately to Lansing. The photograph is a testament to the political climate of the United States during the early 20th century, with two influential figures engaged in a serious discussion that could have shaped the course of American history. The image, part of the vast Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the world of diplomacy and politics during this period.
