EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Alvey Augustus Adee, Assistant Secretary of State, is depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of authority and sophistication. The image, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in 1914, captures Adee in a full-length pose, standing against a plain backdrop. Adee wears a dark suit, complete with a bowler hat and gaiters, which were popular accessories for men during this era. His ankle-length trousers are held up by suspenders, and he wears a crisp white shirt and a dark tie. Adee's posture is confident and poised, with one hand in his pocket and the other resting on a briefcase or bag at his side. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of a bicycle leaning against a nearby wall, suggesting that Adee may have been an avid cyclist. This detail adds an intriguing element to the image, as it hints at the Assistant Secretary's personal interests and hobbies outside of his political role. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century in the United States. The collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, provides a valuable record of American history and culture. Alvey Augustus Adee served as Assistant Secretary of State from 1913 to 1915, during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. He was a prominent figure in American politics, having previously served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Adee's career in public service spanned several decades, and he continued to be active in politics until his death in 1936. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving a record of Adee's appearance and demeanor during his tenure as Assistant Secretary of State.
