EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from 1917, Belgian Major General Mathieu Leclercq is seen in the company of two American officials, William Phillips of the US State Department and Captain T.C. Cook. The trio is gathered in Washington D.C., during a pivotal moment in international relations as the world was embroiled in the First World War. The image captures the essence of diplomacy and military strategy as these three influential figures engage in a serious conversation. Leclercq, dressed in his military uniform, exudes authority and confidence, while Phillips and Cook, both dressed in formal attire, listen intently to the Belgian general. In the background, a car can be seen parked, perhaps a sign of the urgency and importance of the meeting. This photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, is a testament to the significant role that diplomacy and international relations played during the First World War. It also offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with the men dressed in suits and hats, and the absence of color in the black and white image adding to its timeless quality. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, is a valuable resource for historians and researchers, providing a wealth of information about the people, places, and events of the 20th century. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the diplomatic efforts of Belgium and the United States during a time of global conflict.
