    Early 20th Century Portrait of Kansas Pioneer

    $29.95

    Dudley Doolittle, a figure hailing from Kansas, is captured in this striking photograph, illustrating a moment in time from the early 20th century. While the exact date of this image remains unrecorded, the photograph emerges from a period when advancements in photography were making it increasingly accessible for documenting everyday life and notable individuals. The image is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, which contains numerous photographs that showcase people and events of significance, primarily from the early 1900s.

    Kansas during this era was marked by significant social and economic changes. The state was a site of agricultural development due to the promise of the Homestead Act, which encouraged settlement in the American Midwest. By the early 1900s, Kansas was also experiencing the effects of the Progressive Movement, a time when citizens were advocating for reforms in labor, education, and governance. The photograph of Doolittle serves as a reminder of the diverse individuals who shaped, and were shaped by, the dynamic landscape of Kansas during this transformative period.

    The Bain News Service, responsible for capturing this image, was known for its role in chronicling American life through photography, emphasizing not just famous figures but also those whose stories were less widely told. This particular photograph of Doolittle contributes to our understanding of everyday life in Kansas, reflecting a slice of history that often remains unseen. Each tintype and glass negative from this collection continues to serve as a valuable historical document, preserving the faces and stories of the past.
