EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the arrival of the Italian Commission to the United States on May 23, 1917. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a throng of onlookers gathered at the roadside, eagerly observing the procession of cars and horses carrying the esteemed Italian delegation. The Commission, consisting of Italian political and diplomatic figures, had embarked on a journey from their homeland to the United States to discuss military and diplomatic matters amidst the backdrop of World War I. The sight of their arrival was a significant event in American society, drawing large crowds of curious and excited onlookers. The photograph captures the sense of anticipation and excitement in the air, with the onlookers dressed in their Sunday best, some even bringing their children to witness the historic moment. The horses and cars, which were the primary modes of transportation at the time, add to the scene's charm and nostalgia. The image is a testament to the importance of diplomacy and international relations, as well as the fascination and curiosity that such events generated in American society during the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
