EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Housekeeper's Alliance," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in the early 1900s. The image showcases a captivating group portrait of women, dressed in elegant attire that embodies the fashion trends of the era. Each woman wears a hat adorned with intricate details such as lace, ruffles, and velvet ribbons, while their dresses feature full skirts, pleats, and shawls made of fine fabrics. The setting for this portrait is likely a social gathering or organization, possibly related to the domestic sphere, as suggested by the title. The women, with their serious expressions and upright posture, exude a sense of pride and camaraderie. The photograph is a testament to the importance of appearance and social connections during this time in American history. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze (later Newcombe), was a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their collection includes numerous glass negatives, many of which have been preserved in the Library of Congress. This image, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of American photography and fashion history.
