EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "American University Training Camp - Engineers From Training Camp On Potomac, 1917," by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment in American history during the First World War. The image depicts a group of engineers, dressed in their uniforms, gathered on the shores of the Potomac River. They are seen preparing to embark on rowboats, their oars at the ready. The icy waters of the Potomac reflect the winter season, adding a sense of chill to the scene. The photograph was taken at the American University Training Camp, a facility established to prepare soldiers for the war effort. The engineers, who are the focus of this image, were likely honing their skills in boat handling and navigation, essential abilities for their roles in the military. The photographers, Harris & Ewing, were a renowned Washington D.C.-based studio, known for their work documenting the people and events of the early 20th century. Martha Ewing Kuntze and George W. Harris founded the studio in 1896, and it became a prolific source of imagery for publications and institutions. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of determination and resilience that defined the era. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these engineers and the countless others who answered the call to serve their country during the First World War. The image is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable heritage resource that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of history.
