Easter Egg Rolling at the White House, 1911: A Timeless Tradition Unfolds This photograph, titled "Easter Egg Rolling, White House, 1911," is a testament to a cherished American tradition that has spanned generations. Captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, this image transports us back in time to an era of simplicity and joy. Located on the sprawling lawn of the White House, the Easter Egg Rolling event is in full swing. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly gather around, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Boys and girls, some seated and others standing, are poised to roll their colorfully decorated eggs across the grass. The White House, with its grand facade and beautiful gardens, serves as the perfect backdrop for this annual celebration. The tradition of the Easter Egg Roll at the White House dates back to the 1870s, and it has continued uninterrupted, with the exception of a few years during World War I and II. This event, steeped in history and symbolic of the arrival of spring, represents a unique blend of American heritage, culture, and the spirit of community. The photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing, is a precious addition to the National Photo Company Collection at the Library of Congress. It stands as a reminder of the enduring charm of this beloved tradition and the joy it brings to generations of families.
