Additional Details



William MacKinley was President of the United States from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. In addition to both formal and spontaneous portraits, the group features photojournalistic views of him orating to large crowds, entering a carriage, walking with his retinue, seated on a star-draped chair, processing, and, with silk hat in hand, simply waiting.
