EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Boy Scouts, Boy Scout Farm, 1917," captures a group of eager Boy Scouts amidst the bountiful harvest of a cornfield. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, transports us back in time to the idyllic countryside of early 20th century America. The Boy Scouts of America, a prominent youth organization, are seen here in their distinctive uniforms, proudly displaying their badges and emblems. The boys, with their wide-eyed gaze and earnest expressions, exude a sense of camaraderie and adventure. The setting, a sprawling farmstead, adds to the scene's rustic charm. The cornfield, ripe with golden ears of corn, stretches out in the background, symbolizing the hard work and perseverance that comes with rural life. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were part of the esteemed Harris Ewing Inc. and the Harris Ewing Collection. The studio, known for its high-quality glass negatives, captured countless moments of American life during the 1910s. This particular image, with its timeless appeal and rich historical context, serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of youth and the simple pleasures of rural living. The Boy Scouts, with their focus on character development and outdoor skills, embodied the values of self-reliance and community that were highly regarded during this era. This photograph, now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, stands as a cherished reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the importance of tradition, hard work, and the simple joys of rural life.
