Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate who led Bethlehem Steel, appears here in a full-length standing pose, a format that photographers of the period often used to project authority and business stature. The print is a single photographic example catalogued with a circa 1916 date, a time when Schwab was at the height of his influence in American industry. Bethlehem Steel was then a major supplier of armor plate and munitions as the United States moved toward entering the First World War, so the portrait captures a figure closely tied to the nation's industrial output at a pivotal moment.
