EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Thomas Howard Birch, the United States Ambassador to Portugal in 1913, is depicted in full length, standing confidently against a plain background. Dressed in formal attire, Birch wears a dark suit, a crisp white shirt, and a striped tie. His hat, a straw boater, sits atop his head at a jaunty angle, adding a touch of casual elegance to his otherwise formal appearance. Birch's posture is impeccable, his gaze steady and focused, conveying a sense of authority and poise. The photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the ambassador in the prime of his career. The image is a testament to the political and diplomatic prowess of the United States during this period, as well as the importance of maintaining strong international relationships. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, specifically in the 1910s, and is part of the Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. The collection, which consists of over 25,000 glass negatives, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history and culture. Thomas Howard Birch's tenure as Ambassador to Portugal marked a significant moment in United States diplomacy, as it came during a time of increasing global tensions and shifting alliances. Birch's role in representing American interests in Portugal was undoubtedly an important one, and this photograph serves as a lasting reminder of his contributions to United States diplomacy. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century, as well as the political climate of the time. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that the Library of Congress preserves, and the importance of documenting and studying the past to better understand the present.
