EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Camp, 1917 or 1918" by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment in American history during the First World War. The image depicts a group of men, likely soldiers, gathered in front of a barracks building at an army camp. The men wear various pieces of military apparel, including bib overalls or dungarees, and some don civilian dress clothes over their uniforms, suggesting a break from military routine. The photograph was taken at a construction site, as indicated by the building under construction in the background. The soldiers appear to be observing the progress of the site or perhaps receiving instructions from a supervisor. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie among the men, as they engage in a shared experience of building and serving their country. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, founders of Harris Ewing Inc. and Harris Ewing Photographic Studio, captured this image as part of their extensive documentation of the First World War. Martha Ewing Newcombe, also known as Kuntze, was a prolific photographer who worked alongside her husband George. Together, they captured thousands of glass negatives, many of which have become invaluable historical records of American life during the early 20th century. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American military during the First World War, as well as the unique fashion trends and shared experiences that defined the era. The photograph's timeless composition and emotional resonance continue to captivate viewers and historians alike, making it an essential addition to any collection of American history or military memorabilia.
