EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the Treasury Department laboratory during the early 20th century. The image shows a group of men intently working in the dimly lit space, surrounded by an array of scientific equipment and glass negatives. The laboratory, located within the Treasury Building in Washington D.C., was likely used for research and analysis related to the country's financial and economic data. The photograph was taken during the Progressive Era and the Roaring Twenties, a time of significant change and innovation in America. The men in the photograph, dressed in formal attire, embody the serious and focused atmosphere of the laboratory. One man, identified as George W. Harris, is seen carefully examining a glass negative, while another, believed to be Martha Kuntze, looks up from his work, perhaps deep in thought. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, contains over 12,000 glass negatives and 3,000 prints, offering a rich visual record of American history. The collection includes images of people, places, and events from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, providing valuable insight into the country's past. This photograph not only documents the work of the Treasury Department during this period but also captures the spirit of innovation and scientific inquiry that characterized the era. The image invites us to consider the important role that government laboratories and scientific research played in shaping America's economic and social landscape.
