EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Assistant Secretary of The Treasury, Robert O. Bailey, is captured in a formal portrait setting. Dressed in a dark suit and wearing a bowler hat, Bailey exudes an air of authority and confidence. The image, created by Harris & Ewing in 1913, captures Bailey in the prime of his career. Bailey's position in the Treasury Department was a significant one, as he served during a time of great economic change in the United States. The early 1910s saw the passage of several important pieces of legislation, including the Sixteenth Amendment, which established the federal income tax, and the creation of the Federal Reserve System. Bailey would have been intimately involved in the implementation of these policies. The photograph was taken at the Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C., which was known for its high-quality portraits of political and social elites. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, had a reputation for producing elegant and sophisticated images. This is evident in the way Bailey is depicted in the photograph, with his sharp suit, neatly tied bow tie, and the careful placement of his hat in his hands. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people and events of the early 20th century in the United States. It provides a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time, as well as a window into the world of civil servants and political figures. The image is also a reminder of the important role that the Treasury Department played in shaping the economic landscape of the United States during this period.
