EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, William Graves Sharp, the American Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to France from 1914 to 1919, is depicted in formal attire, standing confidently before a plain backdrop. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures Sharp in the prime of his career as a diplomat during a pivotal moment in history - the onset of the First World War. Sharp's attire consists of a dark suit, crisp white shirt, and a bowler hat, which were the standard uniform for diplomats of the era. The ambassador's serious expression and steady gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting the gravity of the political climate at the time. The photograph was likely taken in the late 1910s, as evidenced by the fashion trends and the fact that Sharp had already served in his diplomatic post for several years. The photograph is an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the world of diplomacy during the early 20th century. Sharp's appointment as the American representative to France was significant, as it marked the beginning of the United States' involvement in the First World War. The image serves as a reminder of the crucial role diplomats play in shaping international relations and navigating geopolitical complexities. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 150,000 glass negatives and 30,000 prints. The collection spans various subjects, from politics and diplomacy to fashion and everyday life, and is an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the 20th century.
