Object Details

In 1893, a Chicago news journal, The Graphic, published a brief history of Congress, with an emphasis on numbers: census data, number of states, ages of Speakers. In keeping with their no-nonsense approach, the illustrations accompanying the article were four two-page spreads of Members’ photographs. The newspaper’s workman-like attitude may not have inspired readers, but it provided a complete set of images of a single Congress’ Members.
