1937 Unemployment Census Conference Roper Wallace Biggers Type 1 Press Photo

Description: Washington, D.C., Sept. 27 – Secretary of Commerce Roper (left) and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace (right) go into a huddle with Unemployment Census Administrator John D. Biggers prior to the opening of the conference at the White House today. Plans for compiling the census were formulated. Government, labor, and business leaders attended the conference. In the late 1930s, the United States was grappling with the Great Depression, and the government sought to gather comprehensive data on unemployment to inform policy and relief efforts. This photograph captures a pivotal moment where key government officials, including the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Agriculture, collaborated with the Unemployment Census Administrator to discuss and strategize the compilation of an unemployment census. The involvement of various leaders underscores the national effort to address economic hardships and improve the country's labor market conditions. === This 7x8.5” 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” Wes Howland personal archive images 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.
