EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Allied Commission To U.S. 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a historic moment in international relations during the First World War. The image depicts French General Joseph Joffre, a prominent military leader, boarding the Mayflower for a visit to the home of George Washington. This significant event took place in 1917, during a time when the Allied Powers sought to strengthen their relations with the United States as they continued their collective fight against the Central Powers. General Joffre, dressed in his military uniform, can be seen stepping onto the gangplank, with the Mayflower's deck and the water behind him. The image is a poignant reminder of the international cooperation and diplomacy that played a crucial role in the outcome of the war. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio produced a vast array of images, many of which documented significant political and social events of the time. The image is a testament to the historical significance of the Allied Commission's visit to the United States and the role that diplomacy and international cooperation played in shaping the course of the First World War. The photograph's timeless quality and the intriguing story it tells make it a valuable piece of heritage art and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
