EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of William P.G. Harding, an American banker who served as the second Chairman of the Federal Reserve, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1914. The photograph captures Harding in formal attire, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and black bowtie. He is seen wearing a felt hat and holds a pair of gloves in his left hand. The setting of the portrait is a studio background, with a simple chair and a plain backdrop. William Proctor Gould Harding was born in 1865 and had an illustrious career in finance. He began his banking career in Cincinnati, Ohio, and later moved to New York City to work for J.P. Morgan & Co. In 1912, Harding was appointed as the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Taft. He then served as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1914 to 1918. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the early 20th century, with Harding's traditional business attire reflecting the conservative and formal dress code of the time. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., which contains over 30,000 glass negatives taken by the studio between 1915 and 1933. The collection provides a valuable record of American history and culture during this period. The photographers George Harris and Martha Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in 1912, were known for their high-quality portraits of politicians, business leaders, and society figures. Their studio was located in Washington D.C., making it a popular destination for influential people in the city. This photograph of William P.G. Harding is a testament to their skill in capturing the essence of their subjects and preserving historical moments.
