EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, depicts William Jennings Bryan, a prominent American lawyer and statesman, seated at his desk surrounded by a group of employees. The image exudes an air of productivity and collaboration, with Bryan's intense focus on the documents before him. The desk is adorned with various communication devices of the era, including a candlestick telephone and an electric lamp, symbolizing the rapid advancements in technology during the early 20th century. A framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln hangs on the wall behind Bryan, paying homage to the esteemed political legacy that preceded him. Bryan's office was a hub of activity during this period, as he served as both a lawyer and Secretary of State. The scene captures the essence of the 'old boys network' or 'old boys club' that dominated American politics and business during this time. The employees, all men, appear engaged in their tasks, reflecting the gender dynamics of the era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the daily life of a prominent American lawmaker and the workplace culture of the early 1900s. The use of a glass negative by Harris & Ewing further adds to the historical significance of this image.
