EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1917, depicts a pivotal moment in American political history. The image finds three US Representatives, Frederick Albert Britten, Thaddeus Horatius Caraway, and Henderson Madison Jacoway, gathered around a table, intently examining the Bobroff voting machine. The Bill no. 1472 sign in the foreground indicates the sponsor of the legislation to be James Beauchamp Clark. The Bobroff machine, an innovative voting solution of the time, was a significant step towards modernizing the election process. The trio of legislators, dressed in formal attire, appear deeply engaged in the discussion, their expressions suggesting a sense of importance and urgency. The photograph provides a unique glimpse into the inner workings of government during a period of technological advancement. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading provider of visual documentation during the early 20th century. Their collection contains a wealth of images that capture the essence of American life during this era, including political events, social gatherings, and everyday scenes. This particular image stands out as a testament to the role of technology in shaping the democratic process and the critical role of lawmakers in shaping the future.
