EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "American University Training Camp - Engineers From Training Camp On Potomac, 1917," captures a group of engineers taking a break from their rigorous training at American University during World War I. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts the engineers huddled around the edge of a rowboat, oars in hand, as they gaze out at the icy Potomac River. The winter season is evident in the frozen water and the snow-covered trees lining the riverbank. The setting of the training camp on the Potomac River was an essential location for the engineering corps during this time. The river provided a practical environment for the engineers to learn essential skills such as boat transportation and bridge building, which would be crucial in the war effort. The engineers are dressed in their uniforms, adding to the sense of purpose and dedication. This photograph is an essential piece of American history, offering a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War. It is also a testament to the role that education and engineering played in preparing the military for the challenges of the battlefield. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, which is held at the Library of Congress. The collection includes over 40,000 glass negatives, providing a rich visual record of American life during the early 20th century.
