EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Raymond T. Baker, U.S. Mint, Washington DC, 1917," captures the affluent and distinguished appearance of Raymond Thomas Baker, then-Director of the United States Mint. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Baker in full length, dressed in formal attire, complete with a dark suit, white shirt, and black bow tie. A high-collared dress coat adds an extra layer of sophistication, while a fashionable fur collar wraps around his neck, keeping him warm against the chill of the Washington D.C. winter. Baker carries a walking stick, adding an air of authority to his demeanor. The photograph was taken during a pivotal time in American history, with the country experiencing significant growth and prosperity in the aftermath of World War I. Baker, as the head of the U.S. Mint, played a crucial role in the manufacturing and production of the nation's currency during this period. His successful tenure at the Mint, which lasted from 1914 to 1918, was marked by increased efficiency and innovation. The photograph itself is a testament to the studio's exceptional skill, with the crisp contrast and intricate detail bringing Baker's image to life. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and serves as a valuable historical record of both Baker's career and the era in which he lived.
