EDITORS COMMENTS
Seated in quiet contemplation is Rolla Wells (1856-1944), a stalwart figure in American politics. As Mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, he served two terms with distinction between the years c1910 and c1915. This striking black-and-white photograph captures his dignified presence as he looks directly at the camera, exuding an air of confidence and authority.
As a Democrat and prominent member of the Democratic Party, Wells was deeply involved in local politics during this period. His mayoral tenure saw significant developments in St. Louis' infrastructure, education system, and economic growth. This photograph serves as a testament to his dedication to public service and leadership.
The image is attributed to Bain News Service, a pioneering press photography agency that played a crucial role in documenting American history between the late 19th century and mid-20th century. The glass negative from which this print was made has been preserved by Heritage Images for generations of historians and enthusiasts alike.
