EDITORS COMMENTS
William Lorimer, a prominent figure in Illinois politics during the early 20th century, is depicted in this striking black and white portrait taken by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing, in 1911. Lorimer served as a Representative in the United States Congress from 1895 to 1901 and again from 1903 to 1909. He was also elected as a Senator in 1909, but his election was later deemed invalid due to the use of corrupt methods and practices, including vote-buying. Known as the 'Blond Boss' in Chicago, Lorimer was a powerful and influential figure in the city's political scene. This full-length portrait captures the intensity and confidence of the legislator, dressed in formal attire, standing against a plain backdrop. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people and events of the time. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe, who were prominent figures in the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C.
