EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, documents a significant moment in the history of U.S.-China relations. The image shows a group of men, dressed in formal attire, gathered around a grand mahogany desk, signing a contract. The U.S. Shipping Board, represented by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, is depicted in the foreground, engaged in the serious business of sealing the deal with their Chinese counterparts. The atmosphere is formal and serious, with the men exchanging documents and pens, while the women in the background look on. The room is filled with an air of importance, as evidenced by the ornate furniture, the heavy glass negatives on the shelves, and the intricate details of the interior design. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial and diplomatic ties that bound the United States and China during the early 20th century." "The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, is a treasure trove of historical images that captures the essence of American life during this period. This particular photograph is a testament to the studio's ability to document significant events and capture the mood of the times. The image is also a reminder of the rich and complex history of U.S.-China relations, which continues to shape the world today." "The men in the photograph are dressed in formal attire, with George W. Harris wearing a dinner jacket and Martha Ewing Kuntze donning a stylish dress. The men in the background are also dressed in suits and coats, reflecting the importance of the occasion. The furniture in the room is ornate and elegant, with a large glass-fronted cabinet displaying glass negatives, a reminder of the role of photography in documenting history. The overall effect is one of formality, importance, and sophistication, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of historical images.
