EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, depicts a meeting of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the hallowed halls of Congress. The committee, known for its significant role in shaping America's tax and revenue laws, is shown in session, with members engrossed in heated discussion. The room's ornate interior design is a testament to the era's opulence, featuring a baldachin canopy, chandelier, and ornate furniture adorned with intricate carvings and rich fabrics. The committee members, all men, are seated around a large table, some leaning forward intently, while others appear more relaxed, smoking pipes or gazing out the window. One man, identified as George W. Harris, the founder of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, is seen in the back row, wearing a bowler hat and holding a cane. Martha Ewing Kuntze, another notable figure in the studio, is also present, seated near the head of the table. This historic image offers a glimpse into the inner workings of American politics during a pivotal time in the country's history.
