EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Alvey Augustus Adee, Assistant Secretary of State during Woodrow Wilson's administration, is captured in a moment of quiet reflection. The image, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1914, showcases Adee in formal attire, donning a bowler hat and a crisp suit, as he sits on a wooden bench with a bicycle leaning against it. The setting, likely in Washington D.C., exudes an air of early 20th-century American politics and sophistication. Adee's career in public service began in 1892 when he was appointed as a clerk in the U.S. Department of State. He later served as a diplomat in various capacities, including Minister to Portugal and Minister to Spain. In 1913, President Wilson appointed him as Assistant Secretary of State, a position he held until 1915. This photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. The image of Adee, with his neatly trimmed mustache and serious expression, conveys the importance and gravity of his role in shaping America's foreign policy during a pivotal period in the nation's history. The bicycle in the background may symbolize the convenience and mobility that was becoming increasingly popular among urban commuters during the early 1900s. Overall, this photograph is a captivating snapshot of a significant figure in American politics and the era in which he served.
