EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S. Capitol - Ladies' Reception Room, 1917," showcases the elegant interior of the historic Ladies' Reception Room located in the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC. The image was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, specifically by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze or Newcombe. The Ladies' Reception Room, exclusively for women, is adorned with ornate columns and intricately designed pillars, reflecting the grandeur and sophistication of the early 20th century. The room is filled with a sense of tranquility and refinement, as ladies engage in quiet conversation, some seated at tables while others stand near the windows, taking in the stunning view of the Capitol's surroundings. The photograph is a captivating piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the social norms of the time. The Ladies' Reception Room, with its elegant decor and welcoming atmosphere, served as a gathering place for women during congressional sessions and other official events. This photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 250,000 glass negatives, provides a rich visual record of American history during the 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the studio's dedication to capturing the essence of the time and the people who shaped it.
