EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Nellie Tayloe Ross, an influential American politician, during her tenure as the Director of the U. S. Mint. In this historic moment from April 20,1938, she is seen inspecting designs for the new Jefferson nickel alongside Edward Bruce, director of the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture. Nellie Tayloe Ross was a trailblazer in many ways. She became the first woman to serve as governor in the United States when she was elected as Wyoming's chief executive in 1924. Later on, she took up a prominent role at the U. S. Mint where she played a crucial part in shaping America's coinage. In this photograph, we witness Ross and Bruce engrossed in their inspection of potential designs for the Jefferson nickel. The table before them holds various sketches and models that represent not only artistic creativity but also economic significance. This image symbolizes more than just two individuals examining coins; it represents progress and inclusivity within American politics and finance during an era when women were still fighting for equal rights. It serves as a testament to Nellie Tayloe Ross' dedication to public service and her pivotal contributions to shaping our nation's economy. This print by The Granger Collection offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting an extraordinary woman who defied societal norms to leave an indelible mark on American politics and economics.
