EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Sir John M. Gibson, the Grand Commander of Canada for the International Masonic Congress, proudly poses for the camera in 1912. The image, captured by renowned American photographic studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Gibson's distinguished appearance with his well-groomed beard and top hat adorned with a band and feather. John Morison Gibson was a prominent Canadian politician who held various positions throughout his career, including serving as the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario from 1913 to 1918. His involvement in Freemasonry led him to be appointed as the Grand Commander for Canada during the International Masonic Congress held in Washington D.C. in 1912. The photograph was taken during this significant event, which brought together Freemasons from around the world to discuss various aspects of Freemasonry and its role in society. Gibson's impressive attire, consisting of a formal suit and dress shirt, further emphasizes the importance and grandeur of the occasion. Harris & Ewing, a well-known photographic studio based in Washington D.C., was responsible for capturing this historic moment in time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its extensive collection of portraits of notable figures from politics, entertainment, and society during the early 20th century. This photograph of Sir John M. Gibson is a testament to the studio's skill in capturing the essence and character of its subjects. The image is now part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a valuable record of Canadian and international history, as well as the rich tradition of Freemasonry.
