EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia; Traffic. Stop And Go Signs, 1913," is an intriguing glimpse into the past of Washington D.C.'s bustling streets. Created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a busy intersection filled with various modes of transportation. At the heart of the scene, a policeman stands, directing traffic with the aid of a stop sign and a go sign. The stop sign, a familiar sight today, was a relatively new innovation in 1913, having only been introduced a few years prior. The policeman's uniform, complete with a tall, peaked cap and a badge, exudes an air of authority. Surrounding him, a myriad of automobiles, some with passengers dressed in early 20th-century attire, line up at the intersection. Horse-drawn carriages and streetcars also make an appearance, adding to the diverse mix of transportation. The glass negative captures the intricate details of the clothing, from the high collars and long coats of the men to the voluminous dresses of the women. This photograph is an essential piece of American history, providing a unique perspective into the daily life and fashion trends of the time. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, which is now housed at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a significant contributor to the photographic industry in Washington D.C., documenting the city's growth and evolution throughout the 20th century.
