    Influential Early 1900s American Icon Portrait

    $19.95

    This glass negative captures Vinson Astor, an influential figure in American history, during the early 1910s, a period marked by significant social and political changes. Born into the renowned Astor family, Vinson was not only a member of a prominent lineage but also engaged in business ventures and philanthropy that reflected the dynamics of his time. The photograph, taken by the Bain News Service, highlights the early 20th-century focus on capturing notable personalities, offering a glimpse into the world of the elite.

    Vinson Astors life and work occurred against the backdrop of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, where wealth disparities were pronounced, and reform movements began to gather strength. The Astor family, known for their real estate investments and contributions to American society, played a crucial role in shaping urban landscapes, particularly in New York City. This image illustrates a moment in the life of a contemporary of both the socialite circles and the emerging modern state, reflecting the mingling of wealth, privilege, and responsibility during that transformative period in American history.
