EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Camp, 1917 or 1918" by Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of American life during the First World War era. The image depicts a group of soldiers, dressed in military uniforms and bib overalls, gathered outside an army camp. The men, with serious expressions, are seen constructing a sandbag barrier, a common defensive measure used during military operations. The scene exudes a sense of purpose and determination, as the soldiers prepare for their duties. The photograph was taken at an army base, likely located in the United States, and was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading supplier of glass negatives to newspapers and magazines during the early 20th century. This particular photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. The soldiers in the photograph are dressed in military uniforms, complete with helmets and packs, as well as bib overalls. The overalls, also known as dungarees, were a practical addition to the soldiers' uniforms, providing durability and protection during their duties. The men's clothing, both the uniforms and the overalls, reflects the functional and utilitarian fashion trends of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a significant moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the First World War and the important role that the armed forces played in shaping the country's future.
