EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Boy Scouts - Postal Savings; Scouts Depositing, 1913," captures a significant moment in American history. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of Boy Scouts diligently depositing money into a postal savings account at a desk inside an office. The scene takes place during the early 1910s, a time when the Boy Scouts of America movement was gaining popularity and the postal savings system was a new and convenient way for people, especially children, to save money. The photograph features a mix of boys and girls, showcasing the inclusive nature of the Boy Scouts during this era. The boys wear their full Scout uniforms, complete with hats and neckerchiefs, while the girls are dressed in simple blouses and skirts. The boys are seated at the desk, carefully counting out their money before depositing it into the savings account, while the girls stand behind them, ready to assist. The office setting is simple yet functional, with a glass-topped desk, a wooden chair, and a large window letting in natural light. The photograph was likely taken by either George W. Harris or Martha Ewing, both of whom were prominent photographers working for Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. at the time. This image is a testament to the important role that Boy Scouts played in American society during the early 20th century and the innovative ways in which people saved and managed their money.
