EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "British Commission To U.S - Arrival At Union Station; General Views, 1917," captures the bustling scene at Union Station in Washington D.C. as a group of British officials and their entourage arrive at the station. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a crowd of men in suits and hats, as well as women in elegant dresses and hats, gathered around the platform, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the British Commission. In the foreground, a horse-drawn omnibus can be seen, adding to the sense of activity and movement in the scene. The grand architecture of the station is also on full display, with its columns and pillars creating a sense of grandeur and importance. Trains can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of transportation hub that Union Station was during this time. The photograph was taken during the First World War, and the arrival of the British Commission was likely a significant event in American politics and diplomacy. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which was donated to the Library of Congress in 1945 by Martha Ewing Newcombe, the widow of George W. Harris, one of the founders of Harris Ewing Inc., the photographic studio that produced this image. The collection consists of over 40,000 glass negatives and 2,000 prints, and is an important historical record of American life during the early 20th century.
