    Portrait of a Progressive: Joseph Wingate Folk

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Joseph Wingate Folk, a prominent American politician and reformer in the early 20th century. Folk served as the Governor of Missouri from 1905 to 1909 and was known for his vigorous anti-corruption campaigns, particularly against bribery and political graft. His tenure marked a turning point in Missouri politics, as he worked to implement reforms that aimed to restore trust in government, making him a key figure in the Progressive Movement of that era.

    Folks commitment to government transparency and accountability was exemplary for his time. His administration improved the regulation of railroads and public utilities, and he pushed through legislation that sought to limit corporate influence in politics. The photograph shows him at a pivotal moment when his policies began to shape modern governance in Missouri, reflecting the rising tide of reform in American politics during the early 20th century. This image serves as a visual reminder of Folks legacy and the significant social changes occurring in America during that period.
