EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing collection, taken between 1910 and 1917, we find William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, aboard a ship with a group of naval officers. Taft, dressed in a formal top hat and suit, exudes an air of authority and confidence as he stands among his military counterparts. At the time this image was captured, Taft was not serving as President, but rather as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He had previously served as President from 1909 to 1913, and his tenure was marked by his efforts to reduce the size of the federal government and promote economic growth. The image is a testament to the fashion of the early 20th century, with Taft's top hat and formal attire reflecting the dress code of the time. The naval officers, too, are impeccably dressed in their uniforms, adding to the overall sense of formality and importance. The location of the photograph is not known, but it is believed to have been taken during one of Taft's visits to a naval base or military installation. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the political and military landscape of the United States during a time of great change. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, which was acquired by the Library of Congress in 1945. The collection consists of over 40,000 glass negatives and 1,500 prints, documenting life in the United States from the late 19th century through the 1930s. The collection is an important resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in American history and culture.
