EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from May 1917, Dora Rodrigues stands proudly before the Cosmos Theater on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., her determined expression reflecting the urgency of the times. As a recruiter for the service branches, Dora played a vital role in the United States' response to the First World War. With the country gearing up for naval warfare, she encouraged men to join the Navy and enlist in the Army. The image captures the spirit of patriotism and the home front during the First World War. Dora's presence at the Cosmos Theater, a popular venue for political rallies and events, underscores the significance of her role in the war effort. Surrounded by paperwork and posters, she appears poised to help the next recruit sign up, her pen at the ready. The photograph, taken by the esteemed Harris & Ewing studio, is a testament to the importance of the recruiting process during wartime. Dora Rodrigues, a dedicated and inspiring figure, embodies the courage and determination of the American people during this pivotal moment in history. This glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection, offers a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made by ordinary people during the First World War.
