    Vintage Portrait of E.J. Berwind at Industrial Commission

    $19.95

    This glass negative shows E.J. Berwind standing in front of a building linked to the Industrial Commission, dating from around 1910 to 1915. Berwind was a prominent figure during this period, recognized for his contributions to the coal industry as a successful businessman and philanthropist. The Industrial Commission, where the photograph was taken, played a crucial role in regulating labor practices and promoting industrial safety, reflecting the growing focus on workers rights and safety standards in the early 20th century.

    The image captures a pivotal time in U.S. history marked by industrial growth and significant social changes. The early 1900s saw the rise of labor movements as workers began advocating for better conditions and fair treatment. Berwinds involvement in the industrial sector placed him at the center of these developments, making his views and actions particularly noteworthy. This photograph not only documents a historical figure but also serves as a reminder of the era when industry and labor laws were evolving, shaping the landscape of modern labor relations in America.
