EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in American history, featuring President William McKinley alongside his wife and Expo president John Milburn at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Taken by Frances B. Johnston on September 5,1901, this image holds even greater significance as it was captured just one day before McKinley's tragic assassination. The photograph showcases the three central figures amidst a bustling crowd during a procession. President McKinley can be seen seated in a buggy with his wife Ida by his side, while John Milburn stands nearby. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as spectators line the streets to catch a glimpse of their beloved leader. Little did anyone know that tragedy would strike the following day when President McKinley was fatally shot at the exposition grounds. This image serves as a haunting reminder of how quickly life can change and how historical moments are often frozen in time through photography. Frances B. Johnston's skillful composition captures not only the individuals but also provides insight into early 20th-century America - its political landscape, societal norms, and public events like expositions that showcased progress and innovation. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on both personal loss and national resilience during times of adversity. It serves as a powerful testament to the enduring impact of historical events on our collective memory.
