EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920 by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Bureau of Engraving during a pivotal period in American history. The image, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, captures a group of employees hard at work in the bureau's engraving room. Seated at a long table, surrounded by stacks of paper and glass negatives, a man meticulously examines a design through a magnifying glass. Nearby, a boy and two other men lean over a table, intently focused on their tasks. A woman, identified as Martha Kuntze, sits in a chair, her expression serious as she supervises the group. The atmosphere is one of concentration and industry, reflecting the importance of the Bureau of Engraving in producing the country's currency during this time. The photograph is a testament to the dedication and skill of the bureau's employees, who played a crucial role in ensuring the financial stability of the United States. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time of great change and progress in America. The image captures the spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the era, as well as the sense of community and collaboration that existed within the bureau. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of American history or photography, offering a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of our nation's past. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing in 1896, was a leading photographic studio in Washington D.C. and is known for its extensive collection of images documenting American life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
