EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bible Society Open Air Meeting, East Front of The Capitol, 1917," is a poignant snapshot of a significant moment in American history, captured by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The image portrays a large crowd gathered on the East Front of the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C., with the iconic Capitol dome looming in the background. The occasion appears to be an open-air meeting organized by the Bible Society, an organization dedicated to promoting the study and distribution of the Bible. The diverse crowd is filled with men, women, and children, all dressed in their Sunday best, attentively listening to a speaker on the makeshift stage. The atmosphere is one of faith and community, with the steps of the Capitol serving as a backdrop for this religious gathering. The photograph also features several statues and sculptures scattered throughout the scene, adding an element of historical significance and grandeur to the image. The photograph, a remnant of the 20th century and specifically the 1910s, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the role it played in shaping American society during this period. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, art, or religious studies.
