EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "American University Training Camp - Misc. Views, 1917," captures the essence of the United States' preparations for the First World War. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image depicts a group of soldiers carrying sandbags outside, likely as part of their training at American University in Washington D.C. The university, located in the District of Columbia, served as a training ground for thousands of American men during the war. The photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime atmosphere, with soldiers in uniforms and helmets, and the presence of sandbags and other military equipment. The exterior setting, with trees and foliage in the background, adds a sense of contrast between the tranquility of nature and the impending chaos of war. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha S. Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. in 1902. The studio became a prominent fixture in the city's photographic scene, and its collection includes thousands of images documenting life in the nation's capital during the early 20th century. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by American soldiers during the First World War and the role that education and training played in preparing them for the battlefield. The image is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the history of the United States during the 1910s and beyond.
