EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1912, captures a poignant moment in history. The image features an African American groom tenderly caring for a horse that once belonged to Dr. Cary T. Grayson, a distinguished figure in American history. Dr. Grayson served valiantly as a surgeon in the United States Navy, loyally acting as President Woodrow Wilson's personal aide, and later assuming the prestigious role of chairman of the American Red Cross. The horse, a symbol of strength and dedication, stands proudly in the background, its coat glistening under the soft light. The gentle touch of the groom's hand on the horse's muzzle conveys a deep bond between man and animal, a bond that was essential to the daily life of the US Navy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the men who served our country during the early 20th century. The African American groom, whose name remains unknown, represents the unsung heroes who supported the military and civilian communities, playing crucial roles in the daily operations and care of the animals that were integral to the functioning of the United States Navy. The Harris & Ewing studio, under the leadership of George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a significant contributor to the visual documentation of American history. Their collection, now housed at the Library of Congress, offers a wealth of information about the people, professions, and events that shaped our nation's past. This particular photograph is a testament to the enduring connection between humans and animals, as well as the important role that African American laborers played in our country's history.
