EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Weather Bureau," was captured by Harris & Ewing between 1914 and 1918. The image depicts a room filled with meteorological clerks diligently working at their desks, surrounded by maps and glass negatives. The map on the wall in the background marks the locations of "Storm and Cold Wave Warning Stations" across the United States. During this era, weather forecasting was a critical aspect of public safety, particularly with the increasing use of railroads and maritime transportation. The Weather Bureau, established in 1891, was responsible for providing accurate and timely weather forecasts to the public and various industries. The meteorological clerks in this photograph are intensely focused on their tasks, with some consulting maps and glass negatives while others jot down data into ledgers. The room is filled with a sense of purpose and urgency, as the men work to ensure that the country is prepared for any potential weather-related hazards. The photograph was taken at Harris Ewing's photographic studio, which was known for its high-quality still images. George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, along with their associates Martha Kuntze and Martha Newcombe, were prominent figures in the photography industry during the early 20th century. This image is a testament to their skill in capturing the essence of the Weather Bureau's vital work during a critical period in American history.
