Botanical Gardens at The Capitol, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image showcases the beautiful Botanical Gardens located at the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. during the 1910s. The Capitol Building, a symbol of American democracy and political power, stands majestically in the background. The photograph captures the essence of the botanical gardens, with their lush greenery, intricate glasshouse designs, and winding walkways. The glasshouses, filled with vibrant plants and flowers, create a stunning contrast against the grey concrete of the Capitol Building. The garden's serene atmosphere is a welcome respite from the bustling city life and political activities that surround it. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were prominent figures in the photography industry during the early 20th century. The Harris Ewing Collection, which includes this image, is now part of the Library of Congress's extensive heritage art holdings. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical gardens as living museums and cultural institutions. The Botanical Gardens at The Capitol have undergone various transformations since this photograph was taken, but their mission to promote plant research, conservation, and education remains unchanged. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between nature and the political heart of the United States. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing the beauty of the natural world amidst the concrete jungle of Washington D.C. The Botanical Gardens at The Capitol, 1917, by Harris & Ewing, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, botanical gardens, or simply appreciating the simple pleasures of nature.
