EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Seal of The United States - Stamping Bonds, 1917," captures a powerful image of the Great Seal of the United States being used to stamp war bonds during World War I. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, specifically by George William Harris or Martha Ewing Newcombe, both of whom were prominent photographers for the firm. The scene is set in a well-lit room filled with machinery and a long wooden bench, where women are intently working. The women, dressed in simple blouses and aprons, are seated at a long table, each one carefully aligning a piece of paper beneath the large, intricately carved seal. The seal, which bears the iconic image of an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, is pressed down onto the paper with great force, leaving a clear impression of the seal's design. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the home front efforts during the First World War, as the United States mobilized its resources to support the war effort. The women in the photograph are an essential part of this effort, as they are responsible for stamping the war bonds, which helped to finance the war. The use of technology, such as the stamping machine, is evident in the photograph, highlighting the role of innovation and industry in the war effort. This photograph is an important historical artifact, as it not only captures a moment in time but also provides insight into the collective spirit and determination of the American people during a pivotal period in history. The Seal of The United States, which symbolizes the country's authority and sovereignty, serves as a reminder of the unity and resilience of the American people during times of crisis.
