EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "American Legion," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image showcases a group of dedicated women, their faces filled with determination and pride, gathered around a copy of "Stars and Stripes," a military newspaper. The American Legion, an influential non-profit organization founded in 1919, is the focus of their collective attention. The women are dressed in fashionable attire of the era, with some donning elegant hats and veils. One woman wears a stylish fur coat, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. The group exudes a sense of unity and purpose, reflecting the growing activism and commitment to causes that defined the early 20th century in the United States. This photograph is a valuable piece of American history, captured by the skilled lens of Harris & Ewing. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze (later Newcombe), was a leading provider of photographic services during this period. Their glass negatives are now part of the George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a rich visual record of the past. The American Legion, which advocated for the welfare of U.S. war veterans, played a significant role in shaping the nation's political landscape during this time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these activists and their unwavering commitment to their cause.
