EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "British Soldiers, 1917," captures a group of weary but determined British soldiers taking a break from the rigors of the First World War. The scene is set outside, with a grand, columned building serving as a backdrop. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, sit on various pieces of outdoor furniture, including chairs and a horse trough. Some soldiers lean against the building's doors, while others engage in quiet conversation with their comrades. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned American photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its work for various magazines and the U.S. Congressional Library. This particular image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which contains over 40,000 glass negatives and is now housed in the Library of Congress. The soldiers' uniforms and equipment are meticulously detailed, with each man's individual character evident in his expression and posture. The horses, too, are captured with a sense of realism and grace, their powerful forms a reminder of the vital role they played in the war effort. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these soldiers, providing a window into a pivotal moment in history.
