EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Last Portrait of McKinley,' captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken on September 5, 1901, at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, the image shows President William McKinley surrounded by a group of distinguished individuals, just days before his tragic assassination by Leon Czolgosz. President McKinley is seen here in a full-length portrait, dressed in a suit and wearing a bow tie, seated in a chair with his legs crossed. He is flanked by a number of notables, including John G. Milburn, Senor Asperoz, the Mexican Ambassador, and Col. John H. Bingham of the Government Board. Most notably, Mrs. John Miller Horton, Chairwoman of the Entertainment Committee of the Woman's Board of Managers, stands behind the President, her hand resting gently on his shoulder. The photograph was taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, who captured the President and his companions in a candid and unguarded moment. The image is a testament to the political climate of the time, and serves as a poignant reminder of the human element behind the public persona of a President. This historic photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, politics, or photography. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the future of the country hung in the balance. The Last Portrait of McKinley is a powerful reminder of the importance of documenting history, and the role that photography plays in preserving the past for future generations.
