EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Dolly Madison Breakfast - Genevieve Clark, 1912," showcases suffragist and journalist Genevieve Clark Thomson, an influential figure during the early 20th century in the United States. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, captures Genevieve in a stylish and elegant outfit, sitting at a table adorned with a beautiful floral arrangement. Genevieve was a prominent advocate for temperance and a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She was the daughter of Speaker of the House James Beauchamp Clark and married James Thomson in 1915. The photograph is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s in America, with Genevieve wearing a fitted dress, a hat adorned with a ribbon, and a collar that accentuates her neckline. The monochrome palette of the image, characteristic of the photography of the time, adds to its timeless appeal. Genevieve's role as a journalist and her advocacy for women's rights further underscores the significance of this photograph. Her presence in the public sphere, as evidenced by this image, challenges traditional gender roles and paves the way for future generations of women in journalism and activism. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its extensive collection of portraits of prominent American figures. This image, with its striking composition and historical significance, is a valuable addition to their legacy.
