EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Department of Agriculture Chrysanthemum Show, 1917," captures the beauty and grandeur of the annual horticultural event held by the United States Department of Agriculture. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a stunning display of chrysanthemums arranged in a series of glass cases. The vibrant blooms, in various shades of red, yellow, and white, are artfully arranged against a backdrop of green foliage. At the center of the photograph, a large banner bearing the emblem of the Department of Agriculture flutters proudly. Surrounding the banner are American and Japanese flags, symbolizing the international connection in the world of horticulture. In the foreground, a label identifies one of the chrysanthemums as a Japanese seedling named "General Pershing." The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when gardening and horticulture were popular pastimes in the United States. The Chrysanthemum Show was an annual event that attracted visitors from all corners of the country, showcasing the latest and most beautiful chrysanthemum cultivars. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American gardening and horticulture. The image, taken by George Harris or George W. Harris (the names of the photographers are not definitively known), is a beautiful example of the artistry and skill that went into capturing the essence of nature during this era.
