    Texas and New York Congressmen at Capitol, 1919

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Texas Congressman J.H. Stephens and New York Congressman William Sulzer standing outside the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on April 4, 1919. Their gathering in front of the iconic Capitol building highlights a moment in time when America was grappling with significant social and political changes following World War I. The Capitol, a symbol of democracy, serves as the backdrop for these two prominent figures who played roles in shaping legislation during a transformative period in American history.

    J.H. Stephens, a member of the House of Representatives, was known for his assertive advocacy for Texas interests and his support of progressive reforms. Meanwhile, William Sulzer, also a congressman, had served as the Governor of New York before facing impeachment in 1913. This photograph not only represents their individual political careers but also points to a broader narrative of governance and reform in the early 20th century. Against the backdrop of the Capitol, their presence illustrates the ongoing conversations and conflicts that defined American politics during this era, particularly as the nation confronted the aftermath of global conflict and moved towards social change.

    The image serves as a reminder of the evolving landscape of U.S. politics, where figures like Stephens and Sulzer were significant actors in debates around issues such as labor rights, womens suffrage, and the role of government in everyday life. Their collaboration and engagements reflect a time of active political maneuvering, showcasing the diverse perspectives that have historically shaped legislative actions in the country.
