EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Brick Yard near Mount Vernon,' was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1917. The image offers a glimpse into the industrial heartland of America during the early 20th century. Mounted on a glass negative, the photograph portrays a bustling brick yard nestled in the countryside of Mount Vernon, Virginia, United States. The scene is dominated by the towering smokestack, a testament to the industriousness and innovation of the era. The brick buildings, with their red-brown hues, stand out against the monochrome backdrop, creating a stark yet harmonious contrast. The photograph captures the essence of the industrial revolution in America, as the country transitioned from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing powerhouse. The workers, clad in overalls and hats, can be seen in the foreground, engaged in their daily tasks, adding to the rich tapestry of the image. Martha Ewing Kuntze and George W. Harris, the founders of Harris & Ewing, were pioneers in the field of photography, documenting the social, political, and cultural landscape of America during the early 20th century. Their photographic studio, which was established in Washington D.C. in 1902, produced thousands of images, many of which are now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. This photograph, with its raw, unfiltered depiction of the industrial process, serves as a valuable historical record and a testament to the spirit of progress that defined America during the 1910s.
