EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1916 and 1918, depicts a scene at Fort Myer Officers Training School. The image showcases a group of soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, gathered outside a grand building, likely a barracks or classroom. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the brick facade of the building and the trees in the background. In the foreground, a soldier stands at attention, his gaze fixed on the audience, while another soldier engages in conversation with a woman. A car, parked nearby, adds a sense of modernity to the scene, with its sleek design and shiny finish. The image captures a moment of transition, as the soldiers prepare for their duties, and the woman, perhaps a visitor or family member, bids them farewell. Fort Myer Officers Training School played a significant role in the United States military during the early 20th century, providing education and training for thousands of soldiers in preparation for service. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers and the community that supported them during this time. The photograph, a glass negative, is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 30,000 negatives, offers a rich visual record of American history during the 1910s and 1920s. The image is a testament to the important role that photography played in documenting history and capturing the essence of a moment in time.
