EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "British Labor Mission, between 1910 and 1920," captures a group of British labor leaders who made their way to Washington, D.C. in 1917. Invited by the American Federation of Labor, these men participated in conferences between the British War Mission, headed by Minister Balfour, and representatives of the American Government during the first world war. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases a line of well-dressed men, all wearing bowler hats and sporting moustaches. The men, who exude an air of authority and confidence, stand in a formal line, their faces set in serious expressions. Their attire, consisting of suits and waistcoats, is reminiscent of the fashion of the time, adding to the historical significance of the image. The photograph serves as a metaphor for the international relations and employment opportunities that existed between Britain and America during the early 20th century. The old boy network was in full swing, with men in positions of power engaging in discussions that would shape the course of history. The image is a testament to the importance of diplomacy and the role it plays in shaping the world we live in today. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, was taken as a glass negative and has been preserved for posterity. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the rich history of international relations and labor movements.
