EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "American University Training Camp - Engineers From Training Camp On Potomac, 1917," captures a group of engineers from the American University Training Camp enjoying a break on the shores of the Potomac River. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the engineers in their work uniforms, huddled around a small fire as they warm themselves against the icy winter chill. In the background, several rowboats are moored on the riverbank, suggesting that the engineers may have arrived at the campsite via boat. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the training camps that were established across the United States during the First World War to prepare soldiers and civilians for the demands of the conflict. The American University Training Camp, located in Washington D.C., was one such facility, and it specialized in engineering and transportation training. The scene depicted in the photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie and resilience, as the engineers take a moment to relax and enjoy each other's company amidst the harsh winter conditions. The Potomac River, a prominent geographical feature of the region, adds a picturesque backdrop to the image, further emphasizing the connection between nature, engineering, and the human spirit. This photograph is an invaluable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the early 20th century in the United States. The collection, which includes over 250,000 glass negatives, provides a rich visual record of the era and offers insights into the lives of ordinary Americans during a time of great change and upheaval.
