EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, is seen leaving the German Embassy in Washington D.C. on February 3, 1917. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, documents a pivotal moment in international relations during the First World War. The German diplomat, dressed in a formal overcoat and hat, is seen getting into a car with the help of a chauffeur. His wife, Countess Martha von Bernstorff, is also present in the scene, standing next to the car and waving goodbye. The couple's departure came after President Woodrow Wilson severed diplomatic relations with Germany due to its ongoing aggression in Europe. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant global events, including the start of the First World War. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents various aspects of American life during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which captured the essence of their subjects with remarkable detail and clarity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a significant moment in international history. The image of Count von Bernstorff leaving the German Embassy serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges of diplomacy during times of war and conflict.
