EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "National Guard of D.C. Recruiting Station And Exhibit, 1914" by Harris & Ewing, captures a significant moment in American history. The image portrays a bustling recruiting station for the National Guard of Washington D.C., during a time of growing tension leading up to the First World War. The scene is set in a large, imposing building, with a recruiting sergeant standing proudly in front, dressed in his full uniform. He is surrounded by a group of eager, young recruits, all dressed in civilian clothing, some wearing hats like boaters or flat caps. The boys, with their determined expressions, appear ready to enlist and join the armed forces. The exhibit in the background suggests a collection of military clothing and equipment, further emphasizing the seriousness of the occasion. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the patriotic spirit that swept across the country during this period, as young men answered the call to defend their nation. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Kuntze. The studio was known for its high-quality work and was a leading supplier of photographs to Congressional Library and other prestigious institutions. This image, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the recruitment process during the early 20th century and the spirit of duty and service that defined the era.
