EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Knox Express Co. Horse Team, between 1909 and 1914,' is a stunning depiction of African American men working with horse-drawn machinery in Washington D.C. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases the team's determination and skill as they expertly maneuver the heavy hauling equipment for Geo. W. Knox Express Co. Located at 1417 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., the Knox Express Co. was a vital part of the transportation industry during the early 1900s. In this photograph, the men are seen working diligently with their horses and machinery, showcasing the power and strength required for such labor-intensive tasks. The team's focus and unity are evident as they work in harmony, with one man guiding the horses while another operates the machinery. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time, as horse-drawn machinery was still a common sight on the streets of Washington D.C. and across the United States. The image, captured on a glass negative, transports us back to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the men who made up the Knox Express Co. team. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection, which documents the social, cultural, and historical landscape of the early 20th century in the United States. It is a poignant reminder of the important role that African American labor played in the development of the transportation industry and the broader American economy.
