EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Boy Scouts at Department of Agriculture," was captured by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917. The image depicts a large crowd of Boy Scouts assembled outside the Department of Agriculture building in Washington D.C., United States. The boys, dressed in their full uniforms, are seen engaging in various activities, from setting up tents to playing games. The Department of Agriculture served as a popular destination for Boy Scout outings during this era, providing opportunities for the young scouts to learn about agriculture and the outdoors. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were prominent figures in the Harris Ewing photographic studio in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, which was founded in 1912 by Harris and his wife Martha Kuntze, quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality images that captured the essence of American life. This particular photograph is a testament to the studio's ability to document the country's cultural institutions and the people who populated them. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, which holds a vast array of glass negatives and still images that chronicle American history. The photograph's historical significance lies not only in its depiction of the Boy Scout movement in the United States but also in its documentation of a time when the government and community organizations played a more active role in shaping the lives of young people.
