EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Military Training, 1917 or 1918," captures a pivotal moment in American history during the First World War. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of determined soldiers engaged in artillery training. The scene takes place at an outdoor gun emplacement, where the soldiers are intently focused on their task. Each man is in position, ready to load and fire the large cannon. The heavy artillery, a symbol of the United States' military might, looms in the background. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rigorous training regimen that the American armed forces underwent in preparation for the war. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, display a sense of unity and purpose. Their faces are etched with concentration, as they prepare to execute the complex drills necessary to effectively operate the artillery. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this period. It also serves as a testament to the crucial role that the United States played in the global conflict. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to the historical record of this era. The photographers George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, who founded Harris & Ewing Inc. in 1896, were pioneers in the field of photography. Their studio produced thousands of images documenting the social, political, and cultural landscape of America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This powerful image, with its timeless composition and historical significance, stands as a testament to their remarkable legacy.
