EDITORS COMMENTS
Amos Strunk, affectionately known as "Philadelphia Al," poses confidently in this full-length portrait taken by Harris & Ewing in 1913. Strunk was a prominent figure in the baseball world as a pitcher for the Philadelphia American League team. The image captures Strunk in mid-pitching motion, showcasing his determination and focus. Born in the United States during the early 20th century, Amos Aaron Strunk made history as one of the first African American professional baseball players. This photograph, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to his groundbreaking career. Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., captured this image using glass negatives. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality portraits and still images. Martha Ewing Newcombe, who later became a partner in the studio, also contributed to its success. The photograph shows Strunk dressed in his baseball uniform, with a serious expression on his face as he prepares to throw the ball. The image is a powerful reminder of the dedication and perseverance required to break barriers and make history in sports. This portrait is part of the vast collection of Harris & Ewing photographs held by the Library of Congress. It is a valuable piece of American heritage that documents the life and career of an important figure in baseball history. The image is not only a testament to Strunk's athletic prowess but also to the studio's ability to capture the essence of its subjects.
