Historic 1916 Portrait of J.S. Morgan & A. Greenough

In August 1916, a glass negative capturing J.S. Morgan and A. Greenough was produced by the Bain News Service, a notable agency known for documenting key events and figures of the early 20th century. This era was marked by significant social and political changes in the United States, with World War I reshaping global dynamics. The photograph serves as a tangible record of individuals who were likely influential in their fields during this transformative period.

J.S. Morgan was known for his role in finance, while A. Greenough may refer to a range of individuals by that name who made contributions to various sectors. Given the timeframe, their meeting may have been connected to developments in business, politics, or cultural exchanges as America navigated its involvement in the war abroad. This image, part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, encapsulates a moment in time when leadership and innovation were essential in responding to the challenges of the day.
