EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Baseball - Professional Players, 1916," showcases a moment of intense focus and determination in the world of baseball. Captured by renowned photographers Harris & Ewing, this image transports us back to a time when the game was still in its infancy, yet had already captured the hearts and minds of Americans. The photograph features a full-length image of several baseball players, all dressed in their uniforms, standing in a line. The lead player is in the act of swinging a baseball bat, his eyes fixed on the ball that has been pitched towards him. The other players, poised and ready, mirror his stance, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade that saw the rise of professional baseball in the United States. The players in this image are likely members of one of the major league teams, their faces etched with the grit and determination that comes with competing at the highest level. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were the founders of Harris Ewing & Company, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and produced work for a variety of clients, including Congressional libraries and other prestigious institutions. This image is a testament to the rich history of baseball and the enduring appeal of the game. It captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the simple joy of playing the game was enough to bring people together, regardless of race or class. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or sports memorabilia.
