EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Edwin H. Dressel and Nellie Tayloe Ross engage in a serious discussion about the United States gold reserve in 1937. The image captures a pivotal moment as Dressel, Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mint, confers with Ross, Director of the Bureau of Mints, regarding the transfer of Philadelphia Mint gold to Fort Knox, Kentucky – home to the nation's entire gold reserve. Nellie Davis Tayloe Ross was an exceptional American politician who made history by becoming Wyoming's 14th Governor after her husband's passing. She holds the distinction of being the first woman governor in U. S. history. Her political journey continued when she became the first female director of the United States Mint from 1933 to 1953. The portrait showcases two influential figures deeply involved in shaping America's financial landscape during a time marked by economic challenges and political change. Their dedication and expertise are evident as they strategize on how best to safeguard America's precious gold reserves. This photograph not only captures an important moment between two civil servants but also serves as a testament to women breaking barriers in politics and leadership roles. It symbolizes their significant contributions towards building a stronger America. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem that encapsulates both power dynamics within government institutions and societal progress achieved through trailblazing individuals like Nellie Tayloe Ross.
