EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe on April 1, 1912, captures Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama in contemplative repose. Dressed in the formal attire of the era, Underwood is seen leaning on an elbow, deep in thought, as he gazes off into the distance. The setting for this contemplative moment is the hallowed halls of the Library of Congress, a fitting location for a man of the law and politics. Oscar Wilder Underwood was a prominent figure in American politics during the early 20th century. Born in 1862, he served as a lawyer before entering politics, representing Alabama in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Underwood's political career spanned over two decades, during which he championed various causes, including agricultural issues and labor reform. The image, captured on nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich heritage of American political history. The suit and dress worn by Underwood are reminiscent of the fashion of the time, adding to the vintage feel of the photograph. The monochromatic palette of the image further emphasizes the timeless quality of the moment, as the Senator seems to ponder the issues of the day and the future of his country. This portrait photograph by Arnold Genthe is a valuable addition to any collection of American political history, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a window into the life of a man who shaped the course of the United States of America.
