EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking three-quarter length portrait captures John Willock Noble (1831-1912) in his study, seated at his desk with a thoughtful expression on his face, around the turn of the 20th century. Noble was a prominent figure in American history, serving as a lawyer, brigadier general in the Civil War, and later as Secretary of the Interior from 1897 to 1901. During his tenure as Secretary of the Interior, Noble oversaw the implementation of the Dawes Act, which negotiated eleven agreements that removed nineteen indigenous tribes from their ancestral lands in the Eastern United States and relocated them to small allotments in the newly established Oklahoma Territory. The photograph on the desk, framed and prominently displayed, depicts Native Americans, a poignant reminder of the controversial and contentious period of colonization and displacement that marked this era. The portrait, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure in American history. The image, captured between 1890 and 1910, is a poignant reminder of the intersection of politics, law, and the treatment of indigenous peoples during this period. The desk, adorned with papers and other office supplies, adds to the sense of a man deeply engaged in the business of governance.
