Elihu Root, the New York lawyer who served as Secretary of War and later Secretary of State under Theodore Roosevelt, is the subject of this glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain News Service, a Manhattan agency that supplied press photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s through the 1910s, produced most of the plates in this group, and its caption cards were often reconstructed from memory, so the identification here is recorded as unverified. Root won the 1912 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on international arbitration, and the Bain plates of public men like him capture the look of Washington and New York political life during that era.
