EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic dedication scene of the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona, United States, in 1912. Named after the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, the dam was built primarily for irrigation, water supply, and flood control purposes. The Salt River Project of the Bureau of Reclamation oversaw the construction of this engineering marvel. The image shows a large crowd gathered on the dam, with several dignitaries and officials in attendance. Among them are George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing, the renowned photographic studio that captured this momentous occasion. George Harris, the founder of Harris & Ewing, is seen standing near the center of the crowd, wearing a suit and hat, while Martha Ewing Kuntze, an accomplished photographer in her own right, is situated to his left. The Roosevelt Dam, a significant civil engineering achievement of the early 20th century, was a vital addition to the American infrastructure. It not only provided essential water resources for agriculture and urban development but also marked a significant step towards harnessing hydroelectric power. The dam's opening ceremony was a testament to the collective efforts of the government, engineering community, and the people, who came together to create a lasting legacy for future generations. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is an invaluable piece of American heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable progress made in civil engineering during the 1910s.
