EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia Parks - Children At Fountains And Pools, 1912," is a timeless snapshot of childhood joy and leisure in the early 20th century. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this image showcases a group of boys delighting in the simple pleasures of a sunny day at a public park. The scene is set in an idyllic outdoor setting, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers surrounding the boys as they play near a fountain and paddling pool. The boys, dressed in shorts and shirts, are fully immersed in their playtime, splashing water at each other and laughing with pure joy. The serene atmosphere of the park is further emphasized by the tranquil reflection of the trees in the pool's still water. The photograph is a testament to the importance of accessible public spaces and recreational amenities for children, which were becoming increasingly common in urban areas during this time. The image also highlights the role of photography in capturing and preserving moments of everyday life, allowing future generations to glimpse into the past and appreciate the experiences of their ancestors. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, which was acquired by the Library of Congress in 1945. The collection consists of over 40,000 glass negatives, making it an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in American history and culture.
