EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Edward B. Moore, Commissioner of Patents, in deep concentration at his desk in 1912. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Moore's focused expression as he reviews patent applications and correspondence. The Commissioner's cluttered office is filled with stacks of papers, a candlestick telephone, and a pole telephone, reflecting the high volume of communication and information exchange that was essential to his role as the head of the US Patent Office. Edward Bruce Moore served as Commissioner of Patents from 1911 to 1913, during a time of significant growth and innovation in American industry. His tenure coincided with the rise of the telephone and telecommunications, as well as the increasing importance of patents in protecting inventors' intellectual property. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality portraits and editorial work for major newspapers and magazines. This image of Edward B. Moore provides a unique glimpse into the life of a civil servant and the workings of the Patent Office during a pivotal moment in American history.
