EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "China - Bridge Broken Under American Truck, 1913," captures a pivotal moment in the intersection of two worlds: the ancient and the modern. The image, created by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a wooden bridge in China that has succumbed to the weight of a passing American truck. The bridge, with its intricate design and timeworn appearance, stands in stark contrast to the sleek, powerful vehicle that has caused its collapse. The photograph is a testament to the rapid advancements in transportation technology during the early 20th century, as well as the far-reaching impact of American influence on the global stage. The scene unfolds on the banks of a river, with the water reflecting the chaos caused by the bridge's sudden demise. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, the founders of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, were pioneers in the field of photography. They established their studio in Washington D.C. in 1902 and quickly gained a reputation for their high-quality glass negatives. Their work was widely used by various publications, including Congressional Library, and their images continue to be an invaluable resource for historians and researchers today. This photograph, with its rich historical context and compelling narrative, serves as a reminder of the profound changes that occurred in the world during the 1910s and the role that photography played in documenting these transformations.
