    Early 20th Century Business Innovator Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph features W.A. Ziegler, a figure prominent in early 20th-century American business. Taken between 1910 and 1915, the image captures the eras evolving corporate landscape, which saw the rise of influential entrepreneurs and a shift toward modern business practices. Ziegler was known for his role in the oil industry, particularly as a key player in refining and distribution during a time when oil was becoming a critical resource for transportation and industry.

    The photograph itself provides a glimpse into the professional attire and demeanor of business leaders in the early 1900s. The clothing styles reflect the formal expectations of the time, hinting at the societal norms regarding professionalism and success. Ziegler’s presence in this image underscores the impact of individuals like him on the economic development of the United States, particularly in the context of the burgeoning industrial economy.

    Captured by the Bain News Service, this image also serves as a historical artifact showing the photographic techniques used during that period. The glass plate negative technique was popular among news agencies in the early 1900s, allowing for high-quality images that documented significant figures and events, thereby preserving a visual record of history for future generations.
