EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Ollie M. James, Rep. from Kentucky, at Desk, 1912," captures a moment in the life of a prominent American political figure. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Representative Ollie M. James of Kentucky as he sits at his desk, surrounded by the trappings of his congressional office. James served in the House of Representatives from 1903 to 1913 and later in the Senate from 1913 to 1918. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and decor of the early 20th century. James is dressed in a formal suit and wears braces, a common sartorial choice for men of the time. His office is adorned with bookshelves filled with literature, reflecting his likely extensive knowledge and preparation for his legislative duties. The bookshelves, along with the glass negatives on the windowsill, hint at the importance of research and documentation in the political process. The photograph was taken during a pivotal period in American history, with significant political and social changes taking place. The image serves as a reminder of the dedication and hard work required of those in public office during this time. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the lives of our nation's political leaders and the world they inhabited.
