Taken by Bain News Service in 1913, this black and white print offers a glimpse into the daily life of one of America's most influential politicians during World War I.
McAdoo, known for his progressive policies and commitment to economic reform, served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1913 to 1918. This photograph provides a rare insight into his work routine, showcasing him seated at his desk amidst stacks of papers and files. The simplicity of this setting belies the weighty responsibilities that rested on McAdoo's shoulders during those tumultuous years.
