EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured between 1910 and 1920 by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Treasury Department lab during the early 20th century. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, documents the focused atmosphere of the federal building's laboratory. A lab worker, dressed in a white coat and holding a measuring instrument, is engrossed in his task, surrounded by an array of scientific equipment. Glass negatives, stacked neatly on shelves, attest to the lab's role in photographic research. The room is filled with a sense of purpose and industry, as men in suits and ties move about, attending to their duties. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading provider of images for government agencies and publications during this era. This particular photograph, with its intriguing composition and historical significance, stands as a testament to the studio's ability to capture the essence of the time. The Treasury Department lab, a hub of scientific research and innovation, was a vital component of the United States government during the 1910s and 1920s. This image offers a unique perspective on the people and processes that shaped the nation's financial and economic landscape during this period.
