EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1913, we find baseball pitcher Robert "Bob" Groom in a moment of focused intensity. Groom, a prominent figure in the American League and a player for the Washington Senators, is depicted in a full-length portrait as he prepares to pitch. The glass negative captures the essence of the game, with Groom's determined gaze fixed on an unseen target, his body poised and ready to unleash the ball. The photograph, titled "Bob Groom, Washington American League (Baseball), 1913," provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of early 20th-century baseball. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, offers a wealth of historical information, documenting various aspects of American life during the 1910s. The photograph's creators, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, were a husband-and-wife team who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington, D.C. in 1896. Their studio became a significant contributor to the emerging field of photojournalism, providing images for newspapers, magazines, and other publications. This photograph of Bob Groom is a testament to their skill and artistry, capturing the spirit of the game and the determination of its players. Bob Groom's story is one of perseverance and dedication. Born in 1887, he began his baseball career in the minor leagues before making his major league debut with the Senators in 1912. Over the course of his career, he pitched in 234 games, compiling a record of 105 wins and 111 losses. Despite the challenges and setbacks, Groom remained committed to the game he loved, and this photograph serves as a reminder of his enduring passion and the rich history of baseball in America.
