    Early 1900s U.S. Army Captain Portrait

    $19.95

    This historical photograph features Captain William J. McDonald, likely taken between 1910 and 1915. McDonald, a prominent figure during this period, served in the United States Army and made notable contributions to military operations. The photo was produced by the Bain News Service, a significant player in early 20th-century American photojournalism, which documented major events and personalities of the time.

    The image was captured in Edmonston, Washington, D.C., a location that reflects the militarys presence in and around the nations capital. The early 1900s was a dynamic time for the U.S. military, as it transitioned into a more modern force, especially following its involvement in the Spanish-American War. Captains like McDonald often played key roles in training troops and assisting in various missions that aimed to bolster the military’s capabilities during a period of expansion and modernization.

    Photographs like this one offer a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals who shaped military history in the early 20th century. They serve as a vital record, showcasing the attire, demeanor, and overall significance of military leaders during a transformative time in American history. Captured between the two World Wars, McDonald’s image stands as a testament to the complex evolution of the U.S. military and its key figures.
