Description: HARRIS AND EWING PHOTOS - D-2037 NORTH DAKOTA SOLON - WASHINGTON D.C. JULY 29 - NEW AND INFORMAL PICTURE OF SENATOR GERARD P. NYE OF NORTH DAKOTA. - 7/29/31 Gerald P. Nye was a prominent North Dakota politician who served as a U.S. Senator from 1925 to 1945. He was known for his isolationist stance during the early years of World War II and played a significant role in promoting various reforms, including those related to American involvement in overseas conflicts. The photograph captures a moment in his political life, reflecting the informal nature of his engagements and providing insight into the era's political atmosphere in Washington D.C. === This 7x9 inch original type 1 photograph is from the personal collection of photographer Wes Howland (1906-1956). Howland was a reporter with the Harris-Ewing news service in Washington D.C from 1931-1941, and went on to serve with the military. He was one of a small number of photographers with complete access to the White House, Capitol, Senate, and House. This photo was part of a collection of over 1200 8x10's from Wes Howland personal archive that we acquired from his estate. Included with the lot was the following note from a relative: "Periodically he would send his 8x10 glossy's to his mother. Soon after (joining the Marines) the newspaper of Harris & Ewing went out of business. As far as I know, the hundreds of pictures he took and sent his mother are one of a kind, and the only ones in existence. No prints have ever been made. I inherited them from my grandmother." Not only did Mr Howland have incredible access to the government figures of the day but he was a highly skilled photographer who produced some stunning historical images and documented Washington D.C. in the 1930s like few others.
