EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Senator Francis Griffith Newlands of Nevada is depicted in formal attire, standing tall and confident before a plain backdrop. The image, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1917, offers a glimpse into the fashion and politics of the early 20th century in America. Newlands, a prominent American politician, wears a dark suit, crisp white shirt, and a striped tie. His outfit is completed with a straw boater hat, which was a popular accessory during this era. The Senator's posture and serious expression convey a sense of authority and determination. At the time of this photograph, Newlands was a key figure in the political landscape of the United States. He served as a U.S. Representative from Nevada from 1893 to 1899 and as a U.S. Senator from Nevada from 1902 to 1915. Newlands was a strong advocate for the Reclamation Act of 1902, which authorized federal funding for irrigation projects in the western United States. He also played a significant role in the passage of the Newlands Reclamation Project, which brought water to arid farmlands in Nevada and other western states. This full-length portrait, taken as a glass negative, is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing collection, which documents the people and events of the early 20th century in the United States. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, politics, and social history of this period.
