EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment as William 'Big Bill' Haywood, a prominent American labor organizer and activist, departs from the Shoreham Hotel in 1916. Haywood is best known for his founding membership and leadership in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also referred to as the Wobblies, and his membership in the executive committee of the Socialist Party of America. Dressed in a simple workman's suit and hat, Haywood exudes a sense of determination and resolve. The image, taken by renowned photographers Harris & Ewing, captures the intensity of Haywood's gaze, adding to the powerful impact of the image. The photograph is a testament to the political and social climate of the early 20th century, a time of great upheaval and change in American labor and politics. The full-length portrait, taken in a glass negative format, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this influential figure, whose legacy continues to shape the labor movement and the political landscape of America.
