EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Robert M. La Follette, a prominent American lawyer and politician, during his tenure as a Representative from Wisconsin in 1911. La Follette, also known as "Fighting Bob," served a distinguished career in politics that spanned over four decades. He began his political journey as a Representative from 1885 to 1891, followed by serving as the Governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906. Later, he was elected as a Senator in 1906, a position he held until 1925. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, was a leading provider of political and celebrity portraits. This image of La Follette is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes thousands of glass negatives and black and white prints. La Follette is depicted in the photograph as a serious and focused man, dressed in a formal suit and tie. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve. The photograph is a testament to the political climate of the time, as well as the skill and artistry of the Harris & Ewing photographers. La Follette's political legacy includes his commitment to progressive reforms and his advocacy for the common man. He was a vocal critic of corporate power and corruption, and his influence extended beyond Wisconsin, shaping national politics during the Progressive Era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable American leader and the era in which he lived.
