    Early 20th Century Portrait of a Distinguished Old Boxer

    $19.95

    This photograph features Henry Donahue, a notable figure captured between 1910 and 1915. While specific details about Donahues life are not widely known, this image serves as a visual record of a man who lived during a pivotal era in American history. The early 20th century was marked by significant social and technological changes, including the rise of labor movements, womens suffrage, and advancements in industry and transportation.

    Donahues portrait, produced by Bain News Service, reflects the early styles of portrait photography. During this period, photographs often highlighted individuals in a way that underscored their status or profession. Such images were commonly shared in newspapers and magazines, helping to shape public perceptions and attitudes. Photographers like George Grantham Bain played a vital role in documenting personalities and events of the time, contributing to a historical narrative that informs our understanding of American life in the early 1900s.

    This glass negative captures not just a moment in Donahues life, but also serves as a window into the photographic practices of the day. It highlights the craftsmanship and artistry that were involved in early photography, as well as the importance of visual documentation in preserving history for future generations. Through images like this, we can gain a clearer picture of the past and appreciate the rich tapestry of stories that define our collective history.
