EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "British Commission to U.S. - Arrival at Long Residence, 1917," captures a significant moment in history as a group of British officials disembark from an automobile in front of the grand Long Residence in the United States. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, documents the arrival of the British Commission to the U.S. during the First World War. The photograph showcases a group of men, dressed in formal attire and military uniforms, stepping out of the car, while a woman, likely Martha Kuntze Ewing or Martha Newcombe Ewing, the wife of George W. Harris, the founder of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, stands at the entrance of the residence, welcoming them with a warm smile. The glass negatives of this photograph are part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion trends of the early 20th century, the arrival of motor cars, and the diplomatic relations between Britain and the United States during a time of global conflict. The grandeur of the Long Residence, with its impressive glass doors and ornate detailing, adds to the sense of occasion and importance of the moment captured in this timeless photograph.
