EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Eduardo Schaerer Vera y Aragon, a Swiss-Paraguayan businessman, publisher, and politician, in the early 1910s. Schaerer served as the President of the Republic of Paraguay from 1912 to 1916. He was born in Asunción, Paraguay, but received his education in Switzerland. Upon returning to Paraguay, he became involved in various business ventures and later entered politics. The image shows Schaerer in a formal attire, with a stern expression on his face and a well-groomed moustache. The photograph was likely taken in a studio setting, as evidenced by the even lighting and the plain background. The glass negative was taken by an unknown photographer and is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. Schaerer's presidency was marked by economic instability and political unrest. He implemented various reforms to modernize the country's infrastructure and improve its international relations. However, his administration was also marred by corruption and political infighting. Despite these challenges, Schaerer remained a significant figure in Paraguayan politics and business. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from Paraguay's past. It also provides insight into the political and social climate of the early 20th century in South America.
