EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph, titled "U.S. Emblem For Shipping Board, 1918," captures an iconic symbol of American industrial might and maritime power during World War I. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, features a large, intricately designed emblem bearing the United States' eagle and shield, flanked by anchors and the inscription "U.S. Shipping Board." The U.S. Shipping Board was established in March 1917, in response to the urgent need for a robust shipping industry to support the war effort. The Board was tasked with acquiring, operating, and maintaining merchant vessels, ensuring the transportation of troops, supplies, and munitions to the European front. The emblem in this photograph was used as a standard for marking ships under the U.S. Shipping Board's jurisdiction. Its bold design, with the American eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizes the country's commitment to peace and military readiness. The anchors represent the maritime industry's role in maintaining stability and security. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the United States' industrial capabilities and its determination to contribute significantly to the global conflict. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, played a pivotal role in documenting the country's history, particularly during the 20th century. This image, with its powerful symbolism and historical significance, is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress.
