William McKinley’s Last Photographs
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores photographs of William McKinley published in the wake of his assassination at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901 in Buffalo, New York. After the president’s death, newspaper and magazine editors rushed to publish what they called the “last photographs” of President McKinley, snapshot and news images made while McKinley toured the exposition in the days before his death. These “last photographs,” which did not include images of the shooting or its immediate aftermath, invested news coverage of the assassination with the new visual value of timeliness.
