EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, featuring a group of US Army officers and their companions engrossed in studying the form at Benning Race Track in Washington, D.C. Established in 1890, Benning Race Track was a popular destination for horse racing enthusiasts and military personnel. In this image, the officers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen intently examining the track and perhaps making their bets. The women in the group are elegantly attired, wearing fashionable dresses and hats, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a leisurely day at the races during the early 1900s in America. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives and 15,000 prints, housed in the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent fixture in Washington, D.C., and produced photographs for various clients, including the US Congress and the US Army. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American history and the fashion trends of the 1910s. The image invites us to explore the concept of military life during this era, as well as the social and cultural practices that surrounded horse racing. The intriguing composition and the unidentified individuals in the photograph add to the allure of this image.
