EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, John Franklin Shafroth stands tall and confident, dressed in a formal suit and bow tie, against a plain backdrop. Shafroth was a prominent political figure in the early 20th century, serving as the Governor of Colorado from 1908 to 1912 and as a U.S. Senator from Colorado from 1895 to 1904 and again from 1913 to 1919. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, based in Washington D.C. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was a leading provider of political and celebrity portraits during the early 1900s. This particular image, taken in 1913, captures Shafroth in mid-career, with the assurance of a seasoned politician. Shafroth's political tenure was marked by significant achievements, including his role in securing funding for the Reclamation Act of 1902, which authorized the development of water projects in the western United States. He also advocated for women's suffrage and labor reforms. This full-length portrait, taken as a glass negative, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political change and progress in the United States. The image is a valuable addition to the vast collection of historical photographs held by the Library of Congress, serving as a testament to the enduring legacy of John Franklin Shafroth and the important role he played in shaping the political landscape of his time.
