EDITORS COMMENTS
John Reid Silliman: A Diplomat in Transition, 1914. This striking photograph captures John Reid Silliman, the United States Consul to Mexico, in 1914. Appointed to the position in 1915, Silliman served during a pivotal time in U.S.-Mexico relations. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, presents Silliman in formal attire, dressed for the occasion of representing his country abroad. Silliman's outfit includes a crisp, white shirt, a dark suit, and a straw boater hat. The boater hat, a popular fashion choice during the early 1900s, adds an air of sophistication and summertime charm to the image. Silliman's posture and gaze convey a sense of confidence and determination, reflecting the responsibilities and challenges that came with his diplomatic role. The photograph was taken at the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio, located in Washington D.C. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1912, was a leading producer of portraits and still images during the 20th century. This particular image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. As the U.S. Consul to Mexico, Silliman played a significant role in maintaining diplomatic relations between the two countries during a period of political instability and conflict. His image stands as a testament to the important role of diplomats in shaping international relations and fostering peace and understanding between nations.
