EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Society Circus," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1917. The image showcases an outdoor circus scene, with a large crowd of men, women, and children gathered around an obstacle course performance. The circus, a beloved form of entertainment in the United States during the early 20th century, brought people together from all walks of life to witness the thrilling acts of acrobatics, animal shows, and daring stunts. In this particular scene, we see a group of performers navigating an intricate obstacle course, which includes a series of hurdles, tight ropes, and even a tightrope walk with a dog. The performers, both male and female, display incredible agility and focus as they make their way through the course. One man, dressed in a suit and tie, stands at the edge of the crowd, watching intently with a hat in hand. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. Martha Ewing, also known as Martha Kuntze, was a prolific photographer who often collaborated with her husband, George. Their work, which includes glass negatives, is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. This photograph, with its timeless charm and sense of excitement, offers a glimpse into the rich history of American entertainment and the joy that the circus brought to people during this era.
