EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Red Cross" and dated between 1910 and 1920, captures a poignant moment in the history of humanitarian aid in America. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts two men in formal attire, exchanging a handshake while standing before a backdrop of the American Red Cross headquarters. The Red Cross, an iconic symbol of compassion and relief, had been actively providing aid to the United States and other countries since its founding in 1881. By the early 20th century, the organization had grown significantly, with a robust membership base and a strong presence in communities across the country. The men in the photograph are likely new members, proudly displaying their membership certificates, as they join the Red Cross cause. Their crisp, pressed uniforms and serious expressions convey a sense of duty and commitment to the organization's mission. The glass negative, a testament to the artistic prowess of Harris & Ewing, beautifully captures the essence of this moment in history, showcasing the enduring power of human connection and the importance of coming together to help those in need. This photograph is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and serves as a reminder of the vital role the Red Cross continues to play in providing aid and support to individuals and communities during times of crisis.
