EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Carriage of William Gibbs McAdoo, Secretary of The Treasury, 1913," captures a moment in American history as Secretary McAdoo rides in a horse-drawn carriage. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases McAdoo, an influential African American political figure, seated comfortably in the carriage, surrounded by his white male colleagues. The photograph was taken during a time when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transportation in the United States. McAdoo's carriage is pulled by two strong horses, their ears pricked forward in alertness as they trot along the road. The carriage driver, also a man, wears a hat and holds the reins, looking intently at the road ahead. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. Harris & Ewing was a prominent Washington, D.C. photographic studio founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris. The studio produced thousands of glass negatives and later prints documenting life in the nation's capital during the early 20th century. William Gibbs McAdoo served as the Secretary of the Treasury from 1913 to 1915, during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. He was the first African American cabinet member in U.S. history and played a significant role in implementing Wilson's economic policies. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing a pivotal figure in American history as he goes about his daily business in a horse-drawn carriage.
