EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling preparations for the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as the 28th President of the United States, taken from the southeast corner of the Treasury building in 1913. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a sea of temporary wooden stands that would soon be filled with thousands of eager onlookers. The neoclassical architecture of the Treasury building, with its grand columns and intricate details, serves as a majestic backdrop to the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the political history of the United States during the early 20th century. The inaugural stands, a necessary component of the event, were erected to accommodate the large crowds that gathered to witness the swearing-in ceremony. The stands, which were likely dismantled shortly after the inauguration, are a testament to the grandeur and spectacle of the occasion. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 1900s. The studio's collection includes numerous photographs documenting political events and figures, making it an invaluable resource for historians and researchers. This image, with its rich historical significance and artistic merit, invites us to reflect on the past and the importance of preserving our nation's history for future generations.
