EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Allied Commission To U.S. At Mount Vernon: Joffre In Tomb of Washington, 1917," captures a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The image, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, depicts General Joseph Joffre, a French and British War Commissioner, standing respectfully before the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon, Virginia. General Joffre, a highly decorated military leader and the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army during World War I, is seen here wearing his full military regalia, including his distinctive kepi. The setting, the historic Mount Vernon estate, adds a sense of solemnity and importance to the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the international alliance between the United States and its European allies during the First World War. The Allied Commission, which included Joffre and other high-ranking military and political figures, was sent to the United States to solicit American support for the war effort. The visit to Mount Vernon, the tomb of the first President of the United States, symbolized the shared history and values between the two nations. This photograph is an invaluable piece of historical documentation, capturing a pivotal moment in the 20th century's most significant conflict. It is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held by the Library of Congress, a testament to the studio's important role in recording history.
