EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history as President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) and Secretary of War Newton Diehl Baker (1871-1937) review the National Guard of D.C. in 1916. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases the President and Secretary in formal attire, with Wilson wearing a dark suit and Baker donning a boater hat and light-colored suit. The National Guard soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, stand at attention, forming a disciplined line behind them. The year 1916 marked a significant time in the lead-up to the United States' involvement in the First World War. Baker, a prominent Ohio politician and lawyer, played a crucial role in preparing the country for war by expanding the National Guard and implementing military training programs. Wilson, who was elected to the presidency in 1912, was a strong advocate for American intervention in the war and would eventually lead the country into conflict in 1917. This photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the fashion and political climate of the early 20th century. It is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives and provides a rich visual record of American history.
