EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Home Guard - Organization of Government Clerks, D.C. Wilson, Back To Camera, Rev. 1917," captures a significant moment in American history. President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) is seen addressing a group of government clerks, who have formed the Home Guard Organization. The Home Guard was a civilian defense force established during World War I to provide support for the military in case of an invasion. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, specifically by George H. Harris or George W. Harris, depending on the source. The studio was a prominent figure in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century, and its collection is now housed in the Library of Congress. In the image, President Wilson stands confidently with his hands folded behind his back, while the crowd of government clerks, mostly men, listen intently to his speech. Martha Kuntze Newcombe, who is identified as a Rev. in some sources, is also present in the photograph, standing to the left of the President. The photograph provides a glimpse into the patriotic spirit of the time, with the civil servants showing their commitment to their country and their profession. The photograph's composition and lighting create a sense of order and unity, reflecting the spirit of the Home Guard Organization and the collective effort to support the war effort. The image is an essential historical document, capturing a moment in American history when the civilian population came together to support the military during a time of war.
