EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fairview Hotel, between 1910 and 1917" by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the past of American history. The image portrays the exterior of a roadside food stall or small hotel, likely located in the United States during the 1910s. The Fairview Hotel appears to be a modest establishment, with a sign reading "Fairview" hanging above the entrance. A man in an apron stands at the food stall, engaged in conversation with another person, whose face is not visible. Nearby, signs advertising various products and services add color and character to the scene. "Pepecual Motion," "Gold Dust Twins United We Stand," and "Corby's Cake" are among the offerings. The man's attire, consisting of a long-sleeved shirt, collar, and apron, is typical of the era's workwear. His expression is friendly and welcoming, inviting passersby to stop and enjoy a meal or a rest at the Fairview Hotel. The photograph is a full-length, glass negative image, capturing the details of the scene with remarkable clarity. The exterior of the building, the signs, and the man's clothing all provide valuable insights into the daily life and commerce of the early 20th century. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American history, fashion, or social history during the 1910s. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is an extensive archive of glass negatives taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze between 1910 and 1930. Their photographic studio, Harris Ewing Inc., was based in Washington, D.C., and their work documented various aspects of American life during this period. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the experiences of African American men and the businesses they operated during this time. Overall, this photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history and diverse experiences that shaped America during the 1910s.
