EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1914, William Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury, is seen in a full-length portrait with John Skelton Williams, the Comptroller of the Currency. Both men are dressed in formal attire, reflecting the professional and serious nature of their roles in the US government during the early 20th century. McAdoo, a lawyer and politician, served as the Secretary of the Treasury from 1913 to 1921, making him one of the longest-serving members of President Woodrow Wilson's cabinet. He is easily recognizable in his dark suit and striped shirt, accessorized with a white bow tie and a straw boater hat. Williams, also a lawyer, stands to McAdoo's left, wearing a similar outfit and a more casual boater hat. His serious expression matches that of McAdoo, indicating the importance of their roles and the gravity of the issues they faced during their tenure. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, which was known for its high-quality portraits of politicians, lawyers, and other prominent figures of the time. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the fashion and politics of the 1910s in America.
