    Vintage Portrait of Early 20th Century Social Change

    $35.00

    This photograph features G. Polacco, taken between 1915 and 1920, during a transformative period in American history. The early 20th century was marked by significant social change, with movements for womens suffrage, labor rights, and the impact of World War I shaping the landscape. The era showcased advancing technologies, particularly in photography, as the glass plate negative process was prominent, allowing for high-quality images that documented everyday life and significant events.

    The image reflects not only the individual captured but also the broader context of its time. The Bain News Service, which produced this negative, was known for its role in photojournalism, providing visual documentation of news events, public figures, and cultural moments. As such, this photograph serves as a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the lives of individuals like G. Polacco and the larger societal narratives that were unfolding during this pivotal period in history.
