New Years Breakfasts at the Pan American Union, Washington D.C., 1913: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, titled "New Years Breakfasts, Pan American Union, 1913," captures a moment in time as people arrive for the annual New Years Day breakfast at the Pan American Union building in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a bustling scene of men in formal attire and women in elegant dresses, making their way up the grand staircase of the Union building. The Pan American Union, an inter-American organization founded in 1889, aimed to promote cultural, scientific, and educational exchanges among the countries of the Americas. The annual New Years Day breakfast was a significant event in the Union's calendar, bringing together diplomats, dignitaries, and other prominent figures from across the continent. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. at the time, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the early 20th century. The men wear suits and hats, while the women don long, flowing dresses and high collars, reflecting the elegant style of the era. The Pan American Union building, located in the District of Columbia, is seen in the background, its grand architecture a testament to the importance of the organization and its mission. The image is a valuable historical record of a time when the Americas were coming together to forge closer ties and promote cooperation. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the Americas and the enduring spirit of unity and collaboration that has defined the region for over a century.
