EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Alvey Augustus Adee, Assistant Secretary of State during President Woodrow Wilson's administration, is captured in a formal portrait setting. Dressed in a dark suit and wearing a bowler hat, Adee exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The image, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in Washington D.C. during the 1910s, showcases Adee seated in a chair with his legs crossed and one hand resting on a small table. A bicycle is visible in the background, hinting at his possible interest in cycling. Alvey Augustus Adee was born on October 1, 1867, in Pennsylvania. He began his political career in the late 1890s, serving as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate. In 1913, he was appointed as Assistant Secretary of State by President Wilson, a position he held until 1916. Adee's tenure as Assistant Secretary of State was marked by his involvement in various diplomatic missions, including negotiations with Mexico and the establishment of the United States Embassy in Rome. This photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the political climate of the early 20th century and the fashion trends of the time. The use of a bowler hat, a popular accessory among American men during this period, adds to the historical significance of the image. The inclusion of the bicycle in the background, a common mode of transportation during the era, further emphasizes the period's cultural context. Overall, this portrait of Alvey Augustus Adee offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent American politician during a pivotal moment in the country's history.
