EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the energy and patriotism of a Recruiting Parade in 1917, during World War I. The image showcases a bustling Union Square in New York City, filled with crowds of civilians and soldiers marching together in unity for their country.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment. Each figure in the parade represents a piece of American history, standing tall and proud as they walk towards recruitment stations to join the war effort.
George Graham Bain, the creator behind this powerful photograph, has captured not just an event but a snapshot of an era defined by sacrifice and solidarity. The glass negative used to produce this image adds depth and texture to every detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of early 20th-century America.
As we gaze upon this piece from Heritage Art at the Library of Congress, we are reminded of the courage and determination displayed by those who answered their nation's call during one of its most challenging times. This photo serves as a tribute to all who served during World War I, immortalizing their bravery for future generations to admire.
