EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Charles Lang Freer, a prominent figure in American history. Known for his contributions as both a railroad-car manufacturer and an avid art collector, Freer's legacy is beautifully preserved in this portrait taken by Edward Steichen in 1916. In this image, we see a distinguished man with an air of sophistication. His gaze is focused yet contemplative, reflecting the depth of his passion for fine art photography. The composition exudes early 20th-century charm, transporting us back to a time when America was undergoing significant cultural transformations. Freer's dedication to collecting art is evident through the mention of his carousel collection - a testament to his appreciation for beauty and craftsmanship. This print serves as a window into the life of an individual who not only contributed to industrial progress but also nurtured artistic expression. Edward Steichen masterfully captures Freer's persona, highlighting both his professional achievements and personal interests.
