EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Baseball, Congressional - At Bat: Rauch, George Washington, Rep. from Indiana, 1907-1917, 1911," showcases a historic moment in both baseball and political history. The subject of the image is George Washington Rauch, a congressman from Indiana who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1907 to 1917. In this photograph, Rauch is seen taking a swing at a baseball pitch during a Congressional baseball game. The photograph was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, which was based in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by Harris and Ewing in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph is a testament to the camaraderie and community spirit that existed among politicians during this era. It also highlights the importance of baseball as a pastime and a unifying force in American culture. The black and white image, with its sharp contrasts and intricate details, transports us back to a time when politics and sports were intertwined in a more personal and less divisive way. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives and 15,000 prints. It is a valuable addition to the collection, providing a unique glimpse into the lives of political figures during the 1910s and the enduring appeal of America's national pastime.
