    $19.95

    This glass negative photograph from 1915 captures Judge Wm. Williams, a notable figure in the early 20th century legal landscape. Taken by a photographer associated with the Bain News Service, this image exemplifies a significant era in American history when legal and social structures were evolving. Judge Williams likely presided over cases that reflected the changing societal norms and legal precedents of the time, offering a glimpse into the judicial process during a period marked by dramatic social change, including the womens suffrage movement and labor rights.

    The medium of this photograph, a glass negative, was commonly used by photographers in the early 1900s for its ability to produce highly detailed images. This technique allowed for sharp contrasts and clarity, making it suitable for capturing the likeness of individuals like Judge Williams. Such photographs served not only as portraits but also as a form of visual documentation, offering insights into the personal lives of public figures and their impact on society. The work of the Bain News Service was instrumental in documenting these notable figures, contributing to a better understanding of the historical context in which they operated.

    Overall, this photograph stands as a testament to early photojournalism. It reflects the techniques and interests of the time while preserving the visage of a key individual in America’s legal system. Through images like these, we gain a tangible connection to the past and the people who shaped it.
