EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, taken in 1916, we find two prominent American politicians, Morris Sheppard and William F. Kirby, standing side by side in formal attire. Morris Sheppard, a native of Texas, served as a Representative in Congress from 1902 to 1913 and later became a U.S. Senator for Texas from 1913 to 1941. Kirby, on the other hand, was a Senator for Arkansas from 1916 to 1921 and served as Attorney General of Arkansas from 1921 to 1925. Both men are dressed in suits and ties, with Sheppard wearing a striped jacket and Kirby donning a solid gray one. Sheppard's hands are tucked into his pockets, while Kirby holds a hat in one hand and a cane in the other. The photograph was likely taken in Washington D.C., as both men were serving in the Senate at the time. The setting is most likely the Capitol Building or another prominent location in the district. The image captures the serious and determined expressions of these two politicians, who were undoubtedly shaping the political landscape of the United States during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the important role that men like Sheppard and Kirby played in the country's history, and serves as a reminder of the rich political heritage that continues to shape America today. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 200,000 glass negatives and 15,000 prints from the Washington D.C. photographic studio. The collection offers a unique glimpse into American history, capturing the people, places, and events that defined the 20th century.
