EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MORGAN & ROOSEVELT, c1905" we are transported back to the early 20th century, witnessing a unique moment between two influential figures in American history. The image captures the essence of power and authority as renowned banker and financier J. P. Morgan sits behind an imposing desk, surrounded by opulent interior decor. Seated at Morgan's side is none other than U. S. President Theodore Roosevelt, his loyal secretary for this particular occasion. With a smile on his face, Roosevelt attentively listens to Morgan's dictation while holding a typewriter in front of him. This scene symbolizes the close relationship between politics and finance during the Progressive Era. The photograph also serves as a satirical commentary on the influence of wealthy industrialists known as robber barons during that time period. Morgan, often associated with this term due to his immense wealth and control over major corporations, appears larger-than-life in comparison to Roosevelt's more modest stature. This cartoon-like portrayal highlights the irony of their dynamic; despite being elected president by championing progressive ideals aimed at curbing corporate power, Roosevelt finds himself obediently taking dictation from one of America's most powerful financiers. Overall, this thought-provoking image offers us a glimpse into an era defined by political intrigue and economic transformation while reminding us that even those who hold great power can find themselves subject to unexpected circumstances or alliances.
