    Influential American Statesman Portrait (1910-1915)

    $19.95

    This photograph features Elihu Root, a prominent American statesman and lawyer, taken between 1910 and 1915 by the Bain News Service. Root played a critical role in shaping U.S. foreign policy during the early 20th century, serving as Secretary of War from 1899 to 1904 and later as Secretary of State from 1905 to 1909. His tenure in these roles was marked by significant events, including the construction of the Panama Canal and the negotiation of various treaties aimed at stabilizing international relations.

    Root was also a key figure in advocating for military reform and modernization. He championed the establishment of the Army War College and was instrumental in transforming the U.S. military into a more professional and capable force. Beyond his government service, Root’s contributions to the field of law and diplomacy earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1912 for his efforts in settling international disputes and promoting arbitration, which reflects his commitment to peace and global cooperation.

    This image captures a time when Root was actively involved in shaping the country’s trajectory in both domestic and foreign matters. His legacy continues to influence modern American political and military strategies, making this photograph an important historical record of a pivotal figure in U.S. history.
