EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Allied Commission To U.S. At Mount Vernon, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The image shows a group of dignitaries from the British and French War Commissions, standing respectfully before the tomb of George Washington at his historic estate, Mount Vernon, in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. George Washington, the first President of the United States, is revered as the father of his country. His leadership and vision during the American Revolutionary War paved the way for the formation of the United States. The Allied Commission, comprised of high-ranking officials from Britain and France, visited Mount Vernon to pay their respects and strengthen diplomatic ties between their countries and the United States. The photograph, taken in 1917, features several distinguished figures, including Major General George W. Goethals, who oversaw the construction of the Panama Canal, and Martha Ewing Newcombe, an American socialite and philanthropist. The dignitaries are shown standing in front of the impressive mansion and mausoleum, surrounded by beautiful gardens and the serene landscape of the estate. This photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, showcasing the international unity and cooperation during a time of global conflict. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which is held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the United States and its role in international relations during the early 20th century.
