    " HE IS JUST SECRETARY BO
    Sweeney of Interior Department
    Doesn't Even Care for "Mister"

    WASHINGTON, DC, June 23, 1914" – The New York Times

    If Bain published this photograph ca. 1910-1915, it may have been in relation to the appointment of Bo Sweeney in 1914 as Assistant Secretary of the Interior.

    This is a photograph of the former Lillian E. Reeves (1880-1929) who married Bo Sweeney on February 2, 1898. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Reeves of Trinidad, Colorado.[1]

    Bo Sweeney (1862-1917) was a native of Missouri, practiced law and was a state representative (D) in Colorado, before moving to Seattle. He served as an assistant Secretary of the Interior with Secretary Lane from 1914 to 1917. Bo died suddenly of a heart attack in Washington in 1917. [2] [3] [4]

    A photo of Assistant Secretary Sweeney is in the Bain / LOC Collection on Flickr:

    United States Secretary of the Interior in the Wilson Administration, serving from 1913-1920. Best known for overseeing the formation of the National Park Service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Lane
  • Richard Norton said:
    This is one of the few times that Bain copyrighted one of his images. I think he did it to the photos that he thought had the most commercial potential and would be republished. This tranche of photos are from around 1915. Images published or distributed in the United States between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice are in the public domain.

    Many news historians are now recognizing the Bain News Service's impact and influence on black history in the US. The BNS was one of the first news companies in the country to photograph black Americans in a humane light. We tend to forget that, not too long ago, black Americans were rarely portrayed in photographs, broadcasts or motion pictures as anything but savage brutes or circus clowns.
