EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Philander C. Knox's Visit to Caracas, Venezuela, 1911" 2. Description: This black-and-white photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, captures a significant moment in American diplomatic history. The image showcases Philander C. Knox, the United States Secretary of State, during his visit to Caracas, Venezuela, in 1911. Knox is seen seated in a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by Martha Kuntze Newcombe, as they make their way through the bustling streets of the Venezuelan capital. 3. Background: Philander C. Knox, a prominent American lawyer and statesman, served as the United States Secretary of State from 1909 to 1913. During his tenure, he played a crucial role in shaping U.S. foreign policy, particularly in Central America and the Caribbean. Knox's visit to Caracas in 1911 was part of a broader tour of the region, aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and addressing various issues, including trade and political stability. 4. Setting: The photograph was taken in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela, which was then undergoing significant transformation. The image reveals a mix of colonial and modern architectural styles, with horse-drawn carriages sharing the streets with more contemporary buildings. The vibrant atmosphere of the city is further accentuated by the presence of animals, including horses and other livestock, which were common sights during this era. 5. Technical Details: This photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress. The image was captured using glass negatives, a common photographic process during the early 20th century. The black-and-white format not only adds to the historical authenticity of the image but also emphasizes the timeless nature of diplomacy and international relations.
