EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the somber atmosphere of Mr. J Pierpont Morgan's New York Office, draped in mourning for the late President McKinley. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, showcases a moment of profound grief and respect within the financial world. The office is adorned with heavy drapes that symbolize the collective sorrow felt by millionaires, bankers, and entrepreneurs alike. These influential figures gather to pay their respects to McKinley, highlighting his significant impact on finance and trade during this period. The photo serves as an illustration for "Fortunes Made In Business" a book published in 1901 that chronicles the life struggles of successful individuals like Morgan. It exemplifies how achievement in business can be intertwined with personal loss and national tragedy. In this late Victorian era setting, where money and success were highly valued commodities, it becomes evident that even those at the pinnacle of wealth are not immune to grief. The image encapsulates both the power wielded by individuals like Morgan as well as their vulnerability when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between finance and society - one where fortunes are made but also lives mourned.
