EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1917, showcases an intriguing technological innovation of the era: a loudspeaker, manufactured by The Magnaphone Company of New York City. The speaker, adorned with the patent notice, represents the burgeoning communications industry in America during the 1910s. George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, the dynamic duo behind Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, expertly captured the essence of this industrial marvel. The speaker, with its large, conical design, exudes an air of modernity and progress. The image is a testament to the rapid advancements in sound technology during this period, which would soon revolutionize the way people communicated and consumed media. Martha Ewing Newcombe, also known as Kuntze, is believed to have played a significant role in the success of Harris & Ewing. Her contributions to the studio, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, are a fascinating part of the history of American photography. This glass negative, a relic from a bygone era, invites us to reflect on the transformative power of technology and the role it plays in shaping our world. The speaker in this photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and curiosity that characterized the early 20th century, a time when the United States was at the forefront of industrial and technological innovation.
