EDITORS COMMENTS
Shoeless" Joe Jackson, born Joseph Jefferson Jackson on July 16, 1887, was a prominent baseball player in the American League, most notably for the Cleveland Naps. In this photograph taken by Harris & Ewing in 1913, Jackson is seen donning a simple yet stylish ensemble typical of the era. He wears a collared shirt, a high-waisted trouser, and a letter jacket adorned with patches, likely signifying his achievements. The most striking feature of this image, however, is Jackson's bare feet. Contrary to popular belief, Jackson did not go shoeless during games, but the nickname might have originated from his casual off-field appearance. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when baseball was rapidly gaining popularity in America. The game had transcended its status as a mere pastime and had become a cultural phenomenon. This image captures the essence of the era, with Jackson embodying the rugged charm and raw talent that defined baseball players of the time. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington, D.C. The studio was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902 and was known for its high-quality glass negatives. Martha Ewing, who took this particular photograph, was an accomplished photographer in her own right. Her work, along with that of her husband, forms an extensive collection at the Library of Congress. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of baseball and the iconic figures that shaped the game. It is a reminder of a bygone era, where athletes like "Shoeless" Joe Jackson embodied the raw talent, charisma, and determination that continues to inspire generations of baseball fans.
