EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history as President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of War Newton Diehl Baker stand together at the Fort Myer Officers' Training School in 1917. The First World War was in full swing, and the United States was gearing up for its entry into the conflict. Baker, a prominent Ohio politician and former Congressman, had been serving as Secretary of War since March 1916, overseeing the expansion of the military in preparation for the war. Wilson, who had taken office in 1913, was a respected academic and diplomat who had been elected to a second term in 1916. In this image, both men are dressed in formal attire, with Wilson wearing a dark suit and Baker donning a military overcoat. Wilson is seen adjusting his hat, while Baker looks intently at the camera. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, which was based in Washington D.C. and was known for its high-quality glass negatives. The image is a testament to the critical role these two men played in shaping America's response to the First World War and the profound impact it had on the country and the world.
