EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the 25th inauguration of President William McKinley in Washington D.C., on March 4, 1901. The formal ceremony took place on the East Portico of the United States Capitol, surrounded by an esteemed audience of dignitaries, military officials, and members of the public. President McKinley, dressed in the traditional presidential attire, is seen here with his hand on the Bible as he takes the oath of office, administered by Chief Justice Melville Fuller. The President's military aide, General John Schofield, stands behind him, holding the presidential flag. In the foreground, a French journalist, known as Petit Parisien, is seen taking notes and snapping photographs, a testament to the global interest in this significant event. The Petit Parisien was a popular French newspaper that covered both national and international news, and its presence at the inauguration underscores the international significance of the occasion. The photograph's composition is striking, with the red, white, and blue stripes and stars of the American flag prominently displayed against the gray backdrop of the Capitol building. This image not only captures the formalities of the inauguration but also the sense of history being made before the eyes of the world. President McKinley, born in 1843, had served as Governor of Ohio and as a Congressman before being elected to the presidency in 1896. His presidency was marked by the Spanish-American War, the annexation of Hawaii, and the beginning of American imperialism in the Pacific. This photograph is a testament to a pivotal moment in American history, and a reminder of the enduring power of the presidency to captivate the world's attention.
