EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Pacifists on Capitol Steps, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history during the first world war. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of pacifists gathered on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The demonstrators, both male and female, hold sashes that read "Peace" and "No War," and their determined expressions convey their strong opposition to the ongoing conflict. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, was captured during a time when the United States was deeply divided over its involvement in the war. The pacifist movement, which advocated for peace and nonviolent resistance, gained significant momentum as the war raged on. This demonstration on the Capitol steps was one of many such events that took place across the country. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives, provides a unique window into American history. The image is a powerful reminder of the important role that citizens play in shaping the political landscape of their country. The photographers George William Harris and Martha Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in 1896, were known for their high-quality work and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects. This photograph is a testament to their skill and their commitment to documenting history.
