EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Dining on rooftop; Washington monument in background, between 1910 and 1920,' is a stunning creation of Harris & Ewing. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically the 1910s or 1920s, in the heart of the United States. The scene is set against the iconic backdrop of the Washington Monument, a symbol of American history and democracy. A group of men and women, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, are seen dining on a rooftop, likely a restaurant or a private residence. The rooftop offers a unique vantage point, providing an unobstructed view of the monument and the sprawling cityscape beyond. The photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, is a testament to the era's love for outdoor dining and the appreciation for the beauty of their surroundings. The use of glass negatives, a popular photographic technique during this time, adds to the image's timeless quality. The people in the photograph are engrossed in their meal and conversation, seemingly oblivious to the magnificent view before them. The image captures a moment of leisure and enjoyment, a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich history and culture of America during the 1910s and 1920s.
