EDITORS COMMENTS
Benning Races: August Belmont and Mrs. Donald Cameron, 1912" is a captivating photograph by renowned American photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The image captures the essence of an elegant day at the races, with businessman and financier August Belmont, Jr. (1853-1924) and Mrs. Elizabeth Sherman Cameron (1872-1947) engrossed in the excitement of the Benning Race Track in Washington, D.C. Established in 1890, Benning Race Track was a popular destination for the social elite and political figures of the time. In this photograph, Belmont, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a bowler hat, exudes confidence and sophistication. Mrs. Cameron, dressed in a beautiful, flowing dress and hat, looks radiant and engaged in the conversation with Belmont. August Belmont, Jr. was a prominent figure in American society, known for his business acumen and political connections. He was a leading figure in the Democratic Party and served as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1898 to 1900. Mrs. Cameron, the daughter of Senator James S. Sherman, was a member of the prominent Sherman family and was married to James Donald Cameron. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the fashion and communication of the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was a leading provider of photographic services in Washington, D.C. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is now part of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. The image is a reminder of a bygone era, where the thrill of horse racing and the elegance of fashion brought together the social and political elite for a day of enjoyment and communication. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, fashion, and social history.
