EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Boy Scouts at Department of Agriculture, 1917," captures a lively scene of young Boy Scouts gathered outside the Department of Agriculture building in Washington D.C. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases the enthusiasm and camaraderie of the Boy Scouts as they engage in an outdoor activity, likely a merit badge workshop or training session. The photograph is a testament to the growing popularity of the Boy Scouts of America movement during the early 1900s. The organization, which was founded in 1910, aimed to promote character development, citizenship, and physical fitness among young boys. The Boy Scouts can be seen wearing their distinctive uniforms, complete with hats, neckerchiefs, and badges. The Department of Agriculture, located in the heart of Washington D.C., served as a fitting backdrop for this gathering. The building's grand exterior, with its columns and intricate details, adds an air of importance and authority to the scene. The photograph also captures the bustling cityscape of Washington D.C. in the background, further emphasizing the connection between the Boy Scouts and their country. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. The studio, which was established in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and became a leading supplier of photographs to government agencies and commercial clients. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives and 10,000 prints. The collection offers a unique glimpse into American history, capturing moments from the early 1900s that continue to resonate with viewers today.
