EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a severe storm that struck the White House between 1913 and 1918. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts the storm damage to the iconic building's facade. Debris and fallen tree limbs are scattered across the lawn, and the once pristine windows are shattered, revealing a glimpse of the interior. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the United States was undergoing significant transformation. The White House, as the seat of American power, stood as a symbol of national resilience and endurance. Yet, even this venerable institution was not immune to the forces of nature. The photograph was captured by Harris & Ewing, a prominent Washington, D.C. photographic studio founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, and later managed by their daughter, Martha Ewing Newcombe. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which produced striking, detailed images. This photograph is a testament to their skill and artistry. The photograph is an important historical record of a significant event in American history. It reminds us of the power of nature and the enduring strength of the institutions that represent our country. The men in the image, perhaps workers or officials, are a reminder of the collective effort required to restore the White House to its former glory. Today, this photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture. It is a reminder of the past, a window into the past, and a testament to the power of photography to capture history in a single frame.
