EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing in the early 1910s, we see Knute Nelson, a prominent US attorney and politician from Minnesota. Nelson served as a Representative from Minnesota from 1883 to 1899, Governor of Minnesota from 1893 to 1895, and as a Senator from 1895 to 1923. The image captures Nelson in a formal, full-length portrait, dressed in the attire of the time. He wears a dark suit, complete with a bowler hat perched on his head and an umbrella at his side. The accessory of the bowler hat was a popular choice among politicians and businessmen of the era, adding an air of sophistication and authority to their appearance. The photograph was taken during Nelson's tenure as a Senator, and the setting exudes an aura of power and importance. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the focus to remain on Nelson himself. The glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the studio's skill in capturing the essence of their subjects and preserving their legacy for future generations. Nelson's stern yet composed expression conveys the seriousness of his role as a lawmaker and his dedication to serving his country. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the fashion and political climate of early 20th century America. The image is a reminder of the rich heritage of American politics and the enduring influence of the men and women who have shaped its history.
