EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Benning Races - August Belmont; Mrs. Donald Cameron; Sec. Meyer," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in 1912. The image depicts three prominent figures of American society at the Benning Races in Washington, D.C. August Belmont, Jr., a distinguished businessman and financier, is seen in the foreground, donning a classic bowler hat and a dapper suit. Belmont, who was also known as August Belmont Jr. or August Belmont Junior, was a prominent figure in the horse racing industry and a key player in American politics. Standing next to Belmont is Elizabeth Sherman Cameron, wife of James Donald Cameron. Elizabeth, elegantly dressed in a fashionable dress and hat, exudes an air of sophistication and grace. Her husband, James Donald Cameron, was a successful businessman and diplomat, who later served as the United States Ambassador to Spain. The third figure in this intriguing tableau is George von Lengerke Meyer, who is identified as Secretary Meyer. Meyer, a prominent politician, served as the Postmaster General of the United States from 1911 to 1913. He is seen in the background, engaged in a conversation with Belmont and Mrs. Cameron. This photograph, part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, communication, and social dynamics of early 20th-century America.
