EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia Parks - Tree Surgery, 1911," by Harris & Ewing, transports us back in time to the early 20th century in Washington D.C. The image showcases a tree surgeon at work in a lush park setting, expertly pruning and shaping a towering tree using a wooden ladder. The tree surgeon, dressed in work clothes and wearing a hat, is in the midst of his job, with tools spread out around him and a pile of branches at his feet. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was later taken over by Martha Ewing Newcombe and her husband Guy after George's death. The tree surgeon's occupation was an essential part of maintaining the city's parks and natural spaces, ensuring the health and beauty of the trees for the enjoyment of the community. The image captures the dedication and skill required for this profession, as well as the harmony between the men and nature. This photograph is a significant 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 1900s. It is a testament to the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the people who work to maintain it.
