EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "U.S. Army Inspection, New Equipment, 1910" by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment in American military history as a soldier undergoes an equipment inspection. The soldier, dressed in his military uniform, stands at attention, his expression serious as he presents various items for examination. In his hands, he holds a rifle, its gleaming barrel and meticulously polished wood stock a testament to the importance of maintaining the highest standards of readiness. At his feet, a billy can and water bottle sit ready for use, while a stack of hardtack biscuits and a tube of tooth powder are arranged neatly on a blanket. The scene is set against a backdrop of industrial buildings, likely a military installation or training ground. The soldier's attire, with its high collar and loose-fitting trousers, is typical of the early 20th century military uniform. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, which was acquired by the Library of Congress in 1945. The collection includes over 40,000 glass negatives and is a valuable resource for scholars and historians studying American history, particularly the period between the late 1890s and the 1930s. The National Biscuit Company, makers of the hardtack biscuits, was a major supplier to the U.S. military during this time, and the inclusion of their product in the photograph adds an interesting commercial connection to the image. Overall, this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a soldier during the early 1910s and the importance of proper equipment and supplies in maintaining military readiness.
