New Year's Reception at the White House, 1911: A Triumph of American Pride and Patriotism This striking photograph captures a moment of celebration and camaraderie during a New Year's Reception at the White House in 1911. Three distinguished gentlemen, Gen. George H. Torney, Col. Frank McIntyre, and Maj. Shelton, stand proudly before the imposing facade of the White House, their military uniforms adorned with medals and insignia, reflecting their dedication to their country. Gen. Torney, a brigadier general in the United States Army, wears a formal dress uniform complete with a moustache and a stern, determined expression. Col. McIntyre, a colonel in the United States Army Medical Corps, dons a frock coat and a bowler hat, his face framed by a neatly trimmed beard. Maj. Shelton, a major in the United States Army, wears a more casual uniform, his chest adorned with ribbons and medals. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the studio's skill and the enduring legacy of American military history. The New Year's Reception at the White House was a time-honored tradition, a moment for the nation's leaders to come together and celebrate the beginning of a new year. In this photograph, we see not only the faces of three distinguished military men but also the spirit of unity, pride, and patriotism that defined the early 20th century in America.
