EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Red Cross," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image showcases a group of women dressed in Red Cross uniforms, standing beside a collection of automobiles and trucks laden with containers and canteens. The women, with smiling faces and determined expressions, appear to be preparing for a humanitarian mission. The Red Cross, an American humanitarian organization founded in 1881, played a significant role in providing aid during times of war and natural disasters. In the early 20th century, the organization expanded its reach and capabilities, utilizing motorized transport to deliver essential supplies and assistance to those in need. The photograph, taken outside, captures the essence of the era with its fashionable clothing and the use of automobiles and trucks as essential tools for transportation. The women, dressed in their Red Cross uniforms, embody the spirit of compassion and selflessness that defined the organization during this period. This image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the important role the Red Cross played in American history and the enduring power of humanitarian efforts to bring hope and relief to those in need.
