New Year's Reception at the White House, 1911: A Triumph of American Pride and Unity This striking photograph captures a moment of celebration and camaraderie during a New Year's Reception at the White House in 1911. The image features three distinguished gentlemen, Col. George Ruhlen, Maj. Gen. C.B. Hall, and Capt. E.W. Clark, standing on the grand staircase of the White House, dressed in their formal military uniforms. The trio exudes an air of confidence and pride, reflecting the spirit of the United States at the turn of the century. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George H. and Martha Ewing in Washington D.C. in 1896. The studio quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality glass negatives and became a preferred choice for capturing official events and portraits. This particular image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The New Year's Reception at the White House was an annual tradition, bringing together dignitaries, military personnel, and other notable figures to usher in the new year. The grandeur of the White House facade, with its intricate detailing and elegant glass windows, serves as the perfect backdrop for this group portrait. The men's military uniforms, with their crisp lines and polished accents, add to the overall sense of formality and tradition. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment of unity and pride in the United States during the early 1900s. The photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage of the country, and a reminder of the importance of celebrating the beginning of a new year with hope and optimism.
