EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston on December 2, 1907, captures a significant moment in the history of the United States Congress. The image shows Speaker of the House Joseph G. Cannon taking his oath of office for the 60th Congress, surrounded by the ornate interior of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The historic event took place inside the grand chamber, adorned with balconies and architectural features that add to the sense of tradition and importance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the country's political heritage. Among the spectators in the chamber, two men can be seen barely visible in the background. One of them is young Charles Lindbergh, who would later become famous for making the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927. The other man is his father, Charles Lindbergh Sr. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and political traditions of the United States, capturing a moment in time that continues to resonate with Americans today. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, offering a unique perspective on the people and events that shaped the country's political landscape in the early 20th century.
