EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Zoo, Washington, D.C.: Bears, 1916," showcases a scene from the early days of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, captures the raw power and majesty of two American black bears as they stand in their cage. The bears, with their shaggy coats and piercing eyes, seem to gaze intently at the camera, while their muscular bodies are on full display. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when the National Zoo was just beginning to establish itself as a cultural institution in the nation's capital. The zoo, which opened in 1889, was a popular destination for visitors from all walks of life, and the bears were among its most popular attractions. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington, D.C. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1912, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph, with its crisp details and stunning composition, is a testament to the studio's skill and artistry. The National Zoo continues to be a beloved institution in Washington, D.C., and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into its history. It serves as a reminder of the important role that zoos play in educating the public about the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts. Today, the photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal.
