EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, taken in 1914, we see William Jennings Bryan, the esteemed Representative from Nebraska, in a casual yet distinguished pose with John R. Silliman. Bryan, who served as a Congressman from 1891 to 1895 and later became the Secretary of State from 1913 to 1915, is dressed in a formal suit and wears a Panama hat, a popular accessory for men during that era. His companion, John R. Silliman, is also dressed in a suit, completing the elegant scene. Bryan's posture exudes confidence and authority, with his left hand resting on a walking stick and his right hand casually tucked into his pocket. Silliman, on the other hand, appears more relaxed, with his hands behind his back and a slight smile on his face. The pair are captured in a full-length shot, standing in front of a plain background, allowing their clothing and personalities to take center stage. The photograph was taken during a pivotal time in American history, with Bryan having recently served as the Democratic nominee for President in the 1896 and 1900 elections. The Panama Hat, a symbol of the tropics, may suggest a connection to the ongoing construction of the Panama Canal, which began in 1904 and was completed in 1914. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American political history, showcasing the fashion and style of the early 20th century, as well as the personalities of two influential political figures. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the United States.
