EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the opening game of the professional baseball season in 1917. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image shows a team of baseball players standing to attention on the field, their baseball bats at the ready. The players, dressed in their team uniforms, exude a sense of focus and determination as they prepare for the upcoming match. The photograph, titled "Baseball, Professional - Opening Game, 1917," is a testament to the rich history of baseball in the United States. The team, with their bats arranged in a metaphorical 'strip' on the ground, evoke a sense of unity and camaraderie. The players' serious expressions and rigid posture also convey a sense of discipline and professionalism, reflecting the importance of the game during this era. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were the founders of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and produced work for various clients, including the US Congressional Library. This particular photograph is part of the Martha Ewing Newcombe Collection, which includes over 10,000 glass negatives and is now housed in the Library of Congress. The image is a powerful reminder of the enduring appeal of baseball as a national pastime and the importance of documenting historical moments through photography.
