EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1917, depicts Baron Ludovic Moncheur, Head of the Belgian Mission to the United States, in formal attire as he meets with Secretary of State Robert Lansing at Union Station in Washington D.C. The image captures a significant moment in international relations during the first world war, as Moncheur worked to secure support for his war-torn homeland. Moncheur, dressed in a sharp suit and hat, stands tall and confident as he engages in conversation with Lansing, who is equally well-dressed in a suit and bowtie. The setting, with the grand architecture of Union Station in the background, adds to the sense of importance and formality of the occasion. The photograph is a testament to the role of diplomats and their crucial role in shaping international relations during times of conflict. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the early 20th century, with both men dressed in the formal attire that was common for diplomatic meetings during this era. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing collection held by the Library of Congress, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives and 35mm color transparencies. The collection provides a rich visual record of American history and culture during the first half of the 20th century.
