    Historic Portrait of Sir Charles Johnston, 1912

    $19.95

    This historic photograph captures Sir Charles Johnston, a notable figure in the early 20th century, posing for the camera on October 31, 1912. As an influential individual, Johnstons contributions spanned various fields, notably in education and administration. His career was marked by a commitment to public service and improvement efforts, and his presence in this image reflects a period of significant social and political change in the world.

    The photograph itself is a glass negative, which was a common photographic technique used during that era. This method allowed photographers to capture images with remarkable detail and clarity, offering us a glimpse into the lives of historical figures. Glass negatives were often used for reproduction, as they could be printed multiple times while retaining high fidelity. This particular image, taken by the Bain News Service, is part of a broader documentation of influential personalities of the time, utilizing early photography to preserve their legacies for future generations.

    Understanding the context of this image helps us appreciate the era in which Sir Charles Johnston lived. The early 1900s were marked by rapid changes, including advancements in technology, shifts in political power, and evolving social norms. This photograph serves not only as a representation of an individual but also as a window into an important period in history, illustrating the triangular relationship between identity, documentation, and societal transformation.
