Guarding the Gate - Chicago Police at the Republican National Convention
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken in June of 1912, a group of stern-faced Chicago police officers stand guard outside the entrance to the Coliseum, where delegates have gathered for the Republican National Convention. The imposing structure looms behind them, its grandeur tempered by the solemn expressions on their faces.
As Colonel Theodore Roosevelt prepares to accept his party's nomination just days later, these men are tasked with ensuring order and security at this pivotal moment in American politics. Their uniforms and helmets gleaming in the sunlight, they form a united front against any potential unrest or disruption.
The photograph was taken by Bain News Service, one of the most respected news agencies of its time. The image is now part of the Library of Congress's vast collection, offering a unique glimpse into America's past - a moment when politics and patriotism converged in Chicago's vibrant city life.
