EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing in 1917, depicts the Great Seal of the United States at the State Department in Washington D.C. The image showcases the intricate mechanism of the seal-stamping process. The Seal of the United States, also known as the Great Seal, is a symbol of the authority and sovereignty of the U.S. government. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time when technology was rapidly advancing. The use of stamping blocks and seals was a common method for authenticating official documents. In this image, we see a close-up view of the seal being pressed into a piece of wax or paper, leaving an indelible mark. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio was founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, in 1912. They were known for their high-quality glass negatives and their ability to capture images of important events and people in the nation's capital. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. It is a valuable historical record of the mechanisms and processes used by the U.S. government to authenticate official documents during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the rich history and symbolism of the Great Seal of the United States and the important role it plays in the functioning of the U.S. government.
