EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Council of National Defense Headquarters Under Construction, 1917," showcases the progress of a significant building project in Washington D.C. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the Council of National Defense Headquarters as it takes shape. The Council of National Defense was an organization established during World War I to coordinate the country's war efforts and mobilize resources. The headquarters building, located in the nation's capital, was a symbol of the country's commitment to the war effort. In the photograph, we see a bustling construction site filled with builders in overalls and bib aprons, hard at work. Some are seen hammering away at timber beams, while others are busy laying bricks or carrying heavy loads. The scene is a testament to the industrious spirit of the time, with everyone working together to bring the project to fruition. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, expertly capture the raw energy and determination of the workers. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the fashion of the era, with the builders dressed in practical clothing such as dungarees and hats. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American history, particularly the 20th century and the 1910s. It is a valuable heritage art piece that offers insights into the country's past, showcasing the spirit of unity and hard work that defined the era.
