EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Baron Ludovic Moncheur, the Head of the Belgian Mission to the United States during World War I, is seen dressed in formal attire as he poses for a portrait. The image, captured by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, showcases Moncheur's distinguished appearance, with his neatly trimmed mustache, polished hat, and impeccably tailored suit and dress shirt. Moncheur, a diplomat and ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the King of Belgium, was a key figure in the international relations between the United States and Belgium during a tumultuous time in history. His mission was critical in maintaining diplomatic ties between the two countries and advocating for Belgian interests during the war. The photograph was taken in Washington D.C., likely at the Belgian Embassy or the Belgian Legation, which served as the diplomatic representation of Belgium in the United States during this period. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives and provides a valuable visual record of American history during the early 20th century. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and political climate of the era, with Moncheur's classic and elegant attire reflecting the formal dress codes of the time. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role diplomats play in international relations and the critical importance of maintaining diplomatic ties during times of conflict.
