EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Sir George Reid, a prominent Australian political figure, is seen shaking hands with James Oyster, the United States Commissioner of Washington D.C., in 1912. Sir George Reid, dressed in formal attire, wears a bowler hat and holds a cane, while Commissioner Oyster dons a suit and bow tie. Both men exude an air of authority and confidence. Sir George Reid was a highly influential Australian politician who served various roles including Premier of New South Wales, Prime Minister of Australia, Leader of the Free Trade Party, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. The photograph was taken during his tenure as High Commissioner, a role that required him to represent Australian interests in the United States. Commissioner Oyster, on the other hand, was a civil servant who served in various roles within the U.S. government, including as the Commissioner of Washington D.C. The photograph captures a moment of diplomatic exchange between two prominent figures of their respective countries. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and produced many iconic images of the early 20th century. The image is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable archive of American history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 1910s, with both men dressed in formal attire that was typical of the era. The image also captures the essence of a bygone era, with the vintage cars in the background adding to the historical context. Overall, the photograph is a fascinating snapshot of diplomatic history and a testament to the enduring influence of Harris & Ewing as a photographic studio.
