EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "District of Columbia Parks - Children At Fountains And Pools, 1912," captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation in the heart of Washington D.C. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases a group of children enjoying the refreshing waters of a fountain and paddling pool. The scene is set in a lush, green park, where the sun casts dappled shadows on the grass, and the trees provide a picturesque backdrop. The photograph is a testament to the simple pleasures of childhood and the importance of access to nature and recreational facilities. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen splashing and playing in the water, their laughter echoing through the park. The girls wear long dresses and white shoes, while the boys are in shorts and shirts. Some children are seen paddling in the pool with wooden paddles, while others are content to wade in the shallow waters. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the history and culture of Washington D.C. and the United States during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photographic studio in the district, known for its high-quality glass negatives. This image, in particular, showcases the studio's ability to capture the essence of a moment and preserve it for future generations. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of public parks and recreational facilities, which continue to be essential components of community life in the United States and around the world.
