EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable William Mulholland, an influential figure in American civil engineering and public service. Born in Ireland but making his mark in the United States, Mulholland's legacy is forever intertwined with the development of Los Angeles' water infrastructure. Taken around 1920 during his tenure as head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, this portrait captures Mulholland's commanding presence. Standing confidently amidst a field of grass, he exudes authority and determination. His neatly groomed mustache adds to his distinguished appearance while his fedora hat completes the classic ensemble. In this image, Mulholland holds a surveyor's tool known as a transit atop a sturdy tripod. This symbolizes both his technical expertise and visionary leadership that transformed Los Angeles into a thriving metropolis by ensuring its access to vital water resources. The photograph offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century America, where men like Mulholland played instrumental roles in shaping our cities' infrastructure. It serves as a testament to their dedication and foresight. As we admire this timeless portrait, let us remember William Mulholland not only for his professional achievements but also for embodying the spirit of progress that continues to shape our modern world today.
