EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bob Ellen, Champion Hurdler, Georgetown University, 1911," showcases the determination and grace of a young athlete in an era of American sports history. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures Bob Ellen in mid-stride, his focused gaze fixed on the horizon as he leaps over a hurdle during a competition at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Dressed in the fashionable athletic attire of the time, Bob wears a fitted sweater and a short, tailored jumper, both in white and black. The contrast between the pristine clothing and the rough, textured ground beneath his feet adds depth and visual interest to the image. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the educational setting of the time, with the iconic Georgetown University buildings visible in the background. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant advancements in both sports and photography. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photographic studio in Washington, D.C., known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative techniques. This particular image is a testament to their skill and artistry, as well as the enduring allure of athletic achievement. Bob Ellen's powerful and poised performance in this hurdle race embodies the spirit of competition and the pursuit of excellence that continues to define sports culture in the United States. This photograph is not only a captivating work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich legacy of American sports and education.
