Robert Marion La Follette (1855-1925) was a Wisconsin politician who spent much of his career fighting railroad and corporate influence over state government, and this portrait shows him head and shoulders, facing the camera squarely. The record gives no date, so the sitting itself cannot be placed with certainty, but the photograph belongs to a period when La Follette was rising to national prominence as a leader of the Progressive movement. His reform campaigns in Wisconsin, including direct primaries and stronger regulation of railroads, made him a model for reformers across the country. Viewed today, the frontal pose gives a clear sense of the public man he had become.
