EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Grand Army of The Republic - G.A.R. Emblem Carved in Wood By Switchman at Peace Monument, 1917," is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American armed forces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures a hand-carved wooden emblem of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), a Civil War veterans' organization, at the Peace Monument. The intricate design of the emblem, with its stars, eagles, and the motto "Quo Sacra Sangue Perenni Fiat," translates to "Let the sacred blood be perpetual." The switchman, identified as Jack Hannah Jr., is seen carefully working on the emblem, adding to the historical significance of the image. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when the country was recovering from the aftermath of the war and honoring the sacrifices of its veterans. The image showcases the skill and dedication of the artisan, who meticulously carved the design into the wood, demonstrating the importance of handicrafts and heritage art during this era. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of the United States and the various professions that played a crucial role in shaping the nation. The image also highlights the importance of organizations like the Grand Army of the Republic, which brought together veterans to support one another and advocate for their rights and benefits. The photograph's timeless quality and intricate details make it a valuable addition to any historical collection.
