EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "District of Columbia Parks - Children At Fountains And Pools, 1912," captures the joy and innocence of childhood during a simpler time. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a group of girls and boys enjoying a sunny day at a local park. The children are seen playing and splashing in fountains and paddling pools, their laughter echoing through the lush greenery. The scene exudes a sense of leisure and recreation, as families and friends gather to enjoy the season's warm weather. The girls wear dresses and sun hats, while the boys don shorts and t-shirts. Some children are even seen sliding down a glass slide into the cool water. This photograph is a precious reminder of the importance of outdoor activities and the simple pleasures of childhood. It also highlights the beauty and accessibility of public parks and recreational spaces in the United States during the early 20th century. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the history and culture of Washington D.C. and the wider United States. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in 1896. The studio became a leading photographic firm in Washington D.C., known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative techniques. This image, in particular, showcases their ability to capture the essence of a moment and the spirit of a place.
