Charles Follen McKim, the architect and a founding partner of McKim, Mead & White, is the subject here, and this portrait comes from the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress. Johnston was a prominent photographer of the era who documented architecture and the people who designed it, so her studio portraits of figures like McKim sit at the intersection of art and the professional record. McKim was known for shaping the Beaux-Arts style in American public buildings, including work on the Boston Public Library and the reshaping of Washington's Mall. The photograph dates to roughly 1890 to 1910, the period when his firm was at the height of its influence.
