EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken between 1913 and 1917 by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, we find William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, standing tall and confident. Taft's tenure as President came to an end in 1913, but he would go on to make history once more when he was appointed as Chief Justice of the United States in 1921. During the years captured in this image, Taft was a prominent figure in American politics. He had previously served as Secretary of War under President Theodore Roosevelt and was a respected lawmaker and legislator. The full-length portrait shows Taft dressed in a formal suit, his stern expression conveying a sense of authority and wisdom. The background is simple, with a plain wall and a small table and chair adding a touch of formality to the image. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was a leading producer of photographs in Washington, D.C. during the early 20th century. Their glass negatives, like the one used to capture this image of Taft, are now part of the George W. Harris Collection at the Library of Congress. This photograph is a testament to the studio's ability to capture the essence of historical figures and preserve their legacy for future generations. Taft's time as President was marked by significant political and social changes in the United States, including the passage of the 16th Amendment, which established the federal income tax, and the beginning of American involvement in World War I. Despite these challenges, Taft remained a respected figure in American politics and left a lasting impact on the country's legal and political landscape. This photograph, taken during a pivotal moment in his career, serves as a reminder of Taft's enduring legacy.
