EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Camp Meade, Maryland - Misc, Views, 1917," captures the essence of military life during the early days of the First World War. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image offers a glimpse into the daily routines and camaraderie of American soldiers stationed at Camp Meade in Maryland. Established in 1917, Camp Meade was one of the largest military training camps in the United States, with over 40,000 soldiers passing through its gates before its closure in 1919. In this photograph, we see a group of soldiers gathered outside, dressed in their military uniforms, engaged in a leisurely moment amidst their rigorous training. The men, a mix of different races and ethnicities, are seen wearing various uniforms, showcasing the diversity of the armed forces during this period. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, a prominent photography company based in Washington D.C. The studio, which was founded in 1896, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture candid moments in history. This image, with its natural lighting and unposed subjects, is a testament to their skill and artistry. The Camp Meade photograph is an important historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during a pivotal moment in American history. It is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of over 100,000 glass negatives, which serve as a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the United States during the early 20th century.
