EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures George Creel, a prominent American journalist, writer, and politician, in his role as Chairman of the Committee on Public Information (CPI), also known as the Creel Committee, during World War I. Established in 1917 under the Wilson administration, the CPI was an independent agency created to influence public opinion and rally support for the war effort on the US home front. George Creel, a charismatic and persuasive figure, was an ideal choice to lead this endeavor. With a background in investigative journalism and a knack for storytelling, he was able to effectively communicate the importance of the war to the American people. The CPI employed a range of tactics, from propaganda campaigns to speeches and rallies, to generate enthusiasm and solidarity. In this image, Creel is depicted in a serious and determined manner, dressed in a suit and tie, with a stern expression on his face. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, which was founded by Ewing H. Harris and Martha E. Newcombe (later Kuntze), was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph is a significant historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the pivotal role that propaganda played in shaping public opinion during a time of war. It also serves as a reminder of the power of effective communication and the impact it can have on shaping the course of history.
