EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures George Bruce Cortelyou, the Secretary of the Treasury, in his office between 1890 and 1910. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical piece. Cortelyou sits confidently behind his desk, exuding authority and power. Dressed in formal attire befitting a man of his position, he epitomizes the fashion trends of the early 20th century. With knees crossed and paperwork scattered across his desk, it is evident that he is engrossed in important matters pertaining to American politics. The composition of the photograph highlights both Cortelyou's commanding presence and the grandeur of his surroundings. The furniture exudes elegance while reflecting the opulence associated with high-ranking government officials during this era. As we gaze at this portrait captured on a glass negative by Levin C. Handy or Mathew B. Brady (the true identity remaining uncertain), we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in American history. This image serves as a testament to Cortelyou's significant role within the country's political landscape. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It stands as a reminder that even though time may pass, moments frozen through photography continue to hold immense value for future generations seeking insight into our past political leaders and their contributions to shaping our nation's destiny.
