EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, J.W. Scollick, a special osteological preparator at the U.S. National Museum, is seen at work in the Smithsonian Institution. The image, captured by Harris & Ewing in 1916, offers a glimpse into the world of scientific discovery and exploration during the early 20th century in America. Scollick is intently focused on his task at hand, surrounded by a collection of bones and skeletal remains arranged neatly on the workbench before him. His attire, consisting of a white lab coat and a bow tie, speaks to the formal and precise nature of his work. The industrial background of the workshop, with its large windows and glass-enclosed display cases, underscores the importance of scientific research and the role of institutions like the Smithsonian in advancing knowledge and understanding. Martha Kuntze, also known as Martha Ewing Newcombe, is believed to be the photographer for this image, making it even more significant as a historical document. Her husband, George William Harris, and her brother, George Harris, founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. in 1896. The studio went on to become a leading provider of photographic services for the U.S. government and various educational and scientific institutions. This photograph not only captures a moment in the life of a dedicated osteologist but also serves as a testament to the importance of scientific research and the role of institutions like the Smithsonian in advancing knowledge and understanding during the early 1900s. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, preserving a piece of American history for future generations.
