EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, United States Navy, serving as Paymaster General from 1917. The admiral wears the uniform of a high-ranking officer, complete with a white shirt, navy blazer, and a striking straw boater hat adorned with navy insignia. His stern yet composed expression conveys the gravity of his position, which involved managing the financial operations of the U.S. Navy during a critical period in its history. This photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of the 1910s era. The black and white image, with its sharp contrast and clear detail, showcases the fashion trends of the time, including the formal attire of the admiral and the use of boater hats for men. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century in the United States. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative photographic techniques. The portrait of Rear Admiral McGowan offers a glimpse into the lives of those who served in the U.S. Navy during a time of significant change and growth. It also highlights the important role of paymasters in naval warfare, who ensured the financial stability and logistical support necessary for the Navy to carry out its missions.
