EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Ecuador - Scenes In Quayaquil, Ecuador, 1912," captures a street scene along the edge of the better part of the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this bustling coastal city during the early 20th century. The photograph showcases a muddy street, with women carefully navigating their way along a raised wooden walkway. The walkway, elevated above the mud, serves as a practical solution to the city's wet and uneven terrain. The women, dressed in traditional Ecuadorian attire, carry baskets and bags on their heads, suggesting they are making their way to market or back to their homes. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when Guayaquil was a thriving port city and a major commercial center in the region. The image offers a fascinating window into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of the people of Guayaquil during this period. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The collection, which consists of over 40,000 glass negatives, was donated to the Library of Congress by Martha Ewing Newcombe, the widow of George W. Harris, one of the founders of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington, D.C. The studio, which was in operation from 1902 to 1955, was known for its high-quality photographic work and its extensive documentation of American life during the early 20th century. This photograph, with its rich historical context and intriguing composition, is a testament to the power of photography to transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the lives of people and places long gone.
