Football at Georgetown University, 1911: A Timeless Tradition in American Education and Sports This photograph, titled "Football - Georgetown University Game, 1911," is an enduring testament to the rich history of American football and the educational institutions that have shaped its legacy. Created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sport was still in its infancy and the passion it ignited among fans was as fierce as ever. The scene unfolds on the grassy expanse of an outdoor football field, where the Georgetown University team, resplendent in their uniforms, prepare for the upcoming game. The team's bench, filled with eager players, serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and teamwork that underpins the sport. The opposing team's bench, shrouded in shadows, adds an element of suspense and anticipation. The photograph is a group portrait, capturing not just the players, but also the supporters who have gathered to cheer them on. The image is a snapshot of a community coming together, united by their love for the game and their commitment to their university. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, were pioneers in their field, having founded Harris Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. in 1912. Their work, including this image, is an invaluable contribution to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a visual record of American history and culture. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of football, the importance of education, and the power of community. The scene may be from a bygone era, but the emotions it evokes are as relevant today as they were a century ago.
