EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken between 1909 and 1914 by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing, we see William Alden Smith, a prominent Michigan politician. Smith is best known for his role as the Chairman of the United States Senate investigation into the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. Smith's stern gaze and formal attire convey a sense of authority and determination. The photograph, which is a full-length glass negative, captures him standing against a plain background, allowing the focus to remain solely on his powerful presence. The image was likely taken for use in newspapers or other publications, as a means of showcasing Smith's important role in the Titanic Inquiry. The Titanic disaster was a major news story at the time, and Smith's leadership and dedication to uncovering the truth about the sinking made him a prominent figure in the public eye. The investigation was a turning point in maritime safety regulations, leading to significant improvements in safety measures for ocean liners. This photograph is a testament to the important role that the press played in shaping public opinion and bringing important issues to light. Smith's image, along with the extensive coverage of the Titanic disaster, helped to solidify his reputation as a dedicated and effective legislator. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and the people who shaped it.
