Arthur Capper, the Kansas newspaper publisher who became governor in 1915, is the subject of this portrait, made by the Washington studio Harris & Ewing. Capper later left the Statehouse in Topeka for the U.S. Senate, where he served for decades and became one of the best-known Midwestern politicians of his day. Harris & Ewing, founded in Washington in 1905, photographed many members of Congress and officials, so its portraits show how public men of the early twentieth century presented themselves to the capital.
