EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1915, Agamemnon Schliemann, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Greece, is depicted in full length, standing confidently before a plain backdrop. Schliemann, who is wearing formal attire, is flanked by two men, identified as E.E. and M.P., both of whom are dressed in traditional Greek clothing. Agamemnon Schliemann was the son of renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who is famous for his discovery of Mycenae and Troy. In this image, Agamemann presents himself as a distinguished diplomat, dressed in a dark suit and tie, with a crisp white shirt and a polished black shoes. His posture is erect, and his gaze is steady, projecting an air of authority and confidence. To his left, E.E. and M.P., both dressed in traditional Greek clothing, add an intriguing element to the photograph. E.E. wears a long, flowing white robe, while M.P. dons a short, fitted tunic and a wide-brimmed straw hat. Their presence serves to emphasize the cultural connection between Greece and the United States during this period. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its extensive collection of portraits of prominent figures from politics, society, and culture. This image, with its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the studio's skill and artistry. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of historical and cultural materials. It serves as a valuable reminder of the rich diplomatic and cultural ties between Greece and the United States during the early 20th century.
