EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by Harris & Ewing in the early 1910s, showcases William Gibbs McAdoo in his role as the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States from 1913 to 1921. McAdoo, a prominent lawyer and politician, stands tall and confident in a formal suit, with his hands folded in front of him. The image was captured in the District of Columbia, likely at the Treasury Department or Capitol Hill. McAdoo's political career began in earnest in 1910 when he was elected as a U.S. Senator from California. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of the Treasury just two years later. During his tenure, McAdoo oversaw the implementation of several significant economic policies, including the creation of the Federal Reserve System and the introduction of the income tax. This full-length portrait, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the economic landscape of the United States during a time of great change. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical photographs that document the people, places, and events of the 20th century.
