EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Newton Diehl Baker, the United States Secretary of War from 1916 to 1921, during his tenure in 1917. Baker is depicted standing in front of a grand building, likely the War Department or a military training facility, surrounded by a group of men and women in military uniforms and civilians, including children. The image was captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, specifically by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze. The photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of American involvement in the First World War, as soldiers were being trained and mobilized for deployment. Baker, dressed in a formal suit, looks determined and focused as he addresses the group. The women and children in the background add a sense of home and community, highlighting the impact of the war on civilians as well. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century. The collection includes over 40,000 glass negatives, many of which have been digitized and are available for research and educational purposes.
