EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "British Commission to U.S. - Admiral De Chair and Group, 1917," captures a significant moment in international diplomacy during the First World War. The image was created by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing, and features Admiral Dudley Rawson Stratford De Chair, who was serving as the British Commissioner to the United States at the time. Admiral De Chair is depicted here in full length, standing proudly with a group of men, likely members of his delegation. He is dressed in formal military attire, complete with a hat adorned with a feather, while the other men wear suits and hats. One man in the group holds a leash, leading a dog that sits obediently at his side. The scene takes place in front of a grand building, possibly a government or diplomatic facility, with large windows and ornate detailing. The photograph is a testament to the important role that diplomacy played during the First World War, as well as the formal and traditional nature of international relations at the time. The inclusion of the dog adds an unexpected and charming element to the image, making it a unique and intriguing glimpse into history. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which is held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The collection consists of over 40,000 glass negatives and 2,000 prints, documenting life in the United States during the early 20th century. The studio, which was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902, was one of the most prominent photographic studios in Washington D.C. during this period.
