EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, various distinguished gentlemen gather around a Curtiss Hydroaeroplane or Flying Boat, exhibited near the House Office Building. Among them are Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin K. Ingraham; Admiral Robert E. Peary, famous Arctic explorer; Representatives John Kahn and William Lieb; Professor Frankenfield; Bowman, Taylor, Newton, and Smith; and two unidentified men. The Curtiss Hydroaeroplane, a marvel of early aviation technology, is a testament to the rapid advancements in air transport during the early 20th century. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, founded by Glenn Curtiss in 1907, was a pioneer in the aviation industry, producing some of the most innovative aircraft of the time. The men in the photograph are dressed in fashionable attire for the era, with some wearing boaters and suits, while others don hats and casual clothing. The image, a glass negative, captures the industrial background of Washington D.C., with the House Office Building looming in the background. The Curtiss Hydroaeroplane, with its sleek design and innovative capabilities, would have been a source of great interest and excitement for those in attendance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of politics, aviation, and fashion during the First World War era.
