EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled 'Vocational Training Hearing,' was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image portrays a serious and intense board meeting taking place in a spacious, ornate boardroom. The room is filled with a mix of men and women, all dressed in their best attire, seated around long tables. The atmosphere is formal and business-like, with some individuals gesturing animatedly as they engage in heated debate. At the head of the table, a man in a suit, identified as George W. Harris, gazes intently at a document in front of him. To his right, Martha Kuntze, also dressed in a formal outfit, raises her hand in a metaphorical oath, signifying her commitment to the cause. Behind them, a group of employees, both male and female, listen attentively to the proceedings. This photograph provides a glimpse into the political and social climate of the early 20th century in America. The focus on vocational training suggests a growing awareness of the need for skilled labor and the importance of education in a rapidly industrializing society. The presence of both men and women in the room indicates a shift towards greater gender equality in the workforce. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable archive of American history. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and his wife Martha Ewing Harris in 1896, was one of the most successful in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The 'old boys network' or 'old boys club' mentality, which dominated American politics and business at the time, is evident in the image, with its depiction of a predominantly white, male-dominated power structure. Nonetheless, the inclusion of women in the room suggests that change was on the horizon.
