EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1899, depicts a pivotal moment in the history of the Philippines and United States diplomacy. The image features four distinguished figures: Jacob G. Schurman, Charles Harvey Denby, and Admiral George Dewey, with Dean Conant Worcester absent. Schurman served as the first Civil Governor-General of the Philippines, Denby was the Commissioner of the First Philippine Commission, and Dewey, a renowned naval hero, led the United States Navy to victory in the Battle of Manila Bay. The photograph captures the quartet in deep conversation around a large desk in an office setting, likely within the halls of the United States government. The room is adorned with traditional furniture and the air of importance hangs heavy. The men, dressed in formal attire, exude an aura of authority and seriousness. The First Philippine Commission was established by the United States Congress in 1898 to oversee the transition of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule to American rule. Schurman and Denby were instrumental in the implementation of American policies and governance in the newly acquired territory. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the diplomatic discussions that shaped the future of the Philippines and the United States' role in the region. It is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of historical images held in the Library of Congress.
