EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pride and honor at a stadium reception for Italians on June 23, 1917. The children in costume are shaking hands as part of a ceremony honoring Prince Ferdinando of Udine, the head of the Italian War Commission to the United States. One child is dressed as Uncle Sam, symbolizing America, while the other child is adorned in the uniform of a Bersaglieri soldier from the Italian Army.
The scene unfolds in Lewisohn Stadium at the College of the City of New York, showcasing an allegorical representation of unity and respect between two nations during World War I. The black and white image exudes historical significance and artistic flair, capturing a moment frozen in time.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal era in history when alliances were forged and sacrifices were made for a greater cause. The intricate details in their attire reflect not just fashion choices but also cultural identities intertwined with national pride.
Through this lens into the past, we witness the power of symbolism and ceremony to bridge divides and celebrate shared values. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict, there can be moments of camaraderie and mutual respect that transcend borders.
