EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment in time during the tumultuous year of 1912 was photographer George Grantham Bain's specialty. This striking print, taken for the Bain News Service, showcases two prominent figures: Ormsby McHarg and G.T. Taylor, both esteemed gentlemen from Tennessee. The photograph is believed to have been snapped at the Republican National Convention held at Chicago's iconic Coliseum in June of that year.
McHarg and Taylor are dressed impeccably in their finest attire - a boater hat adorning McHarg's head, while Taylor sports a stylish suit with a crisp white shirt. Their direct gazes seem to convey confidence and authority as they stand together against the imposing backdrop of the Coliseum's exterior.
This photograph not only captures two notable individuals but also provides insight into American politics during this pivotal moment in history. The 1912 Republican National Convention was marked by controversy, with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt ultimately losing his bid for re-nomination to President William Howard Taft. John R Lynch, a prominent African-American lawyer and politician, played a significant role at the convention as well.
This photograph is not only an excellent example of Bain's skill behind the lens but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography in capturing moments that shape our understanding of history.
