EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Ormsby MacKenzie McHarg, Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor, during the Clapp Hearings in 1912. McHarg, a prominent American lawmaker and legislator, is seen here dressed in formal attire, wearing a homburg hat and a bow tie. The image was taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, during a pivotal moment in American political history. The Clapp Hearings were a series of investigative hearings held before the United States House Committee on Labor, chaired by Congressman William Clapp. The hearings focused on the working conditions and labor practices in the textile industry, particularly in the southern United States. McHarg, as Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor, played a significant role in the proceedings, advocating for labor reforms and worker protections. This full-length portrait, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time, with McHarg's formal attire and accessories reflecting the era's style. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying American history and politics. The image is a testament to the important role that photography plays in documenting and preserving historical moments, providing a visual record of the past for future generations.
