EDITORS COMMENTS
Easter Egg Rolling at the White House, 1911: A Timeless Tradition Unfolds This photograph, titled "Easter Egg Rolling, White House, 1911," is an enduring testament to a cherished American tradition. Captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, the image invites us to step back in time and witness the joyous scene of children engaging in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. The photograph is set against the picturesque backdrop of the White House gardens, where a lush, green lawn stretches out before us. A diverse group of children, dressed in their Sunday best, have gathered around the starting line, eagerly awaiting the signal to begin. Some don colorful hats and bonnets, while others wear simple, yet elegant dresses and suits. Their excited expressions radiate pure joy and anticipation. The tradition of the White House Easter Egg Roll dates back to the 1870s, and it is steeped in history and symbolism. This event, which celebrates the arrival of spring and the Christian holiday of Easter, has been a beloved custom for generations of American families. The children in this photograph, many of whom are seated on the grass, are poised to roll their brightly decorated eggs across the lawn, in a friendly competition that fosters community, fun, and togetherness. This beautiful, black-and-white image, taken from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and enduring traditions that unite us as a nation. As we admire the scene unfolding before us, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the joys of childhood were cherished and celebrated.
