EDITORS COMMENTS
great image of Stephen Tyng Mather, an influential figure in American history during the early 20th century. Mather, born between 1910 and 1920, was a visionary industrialist and conservationist who made significant strides in preserving the natural beauty of the United States. He is best known for being the first director of the National Park Service, a position he held from 1917 to 1929. This striking black and white portrait of Mather was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, likely between 1910 and 1920. The photograph captures Mather in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with a serious expression that speaks to his deep commitment to his work. The background of the image is a blurred landscape, possibly a nod to the natural landscapes that Mather worked tirelessly to protect. Mather's career began in industry, but his passion for the outdoors and conservation led him to advocate for the protection of America's natural wonders. He played a key role in the creation of numerous national parks and monuments, including Grand Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. This image is a testament to Mather's enduring legacy as a pioneering conservationist and a dedicated public servant. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations. The portrait is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or art.
