EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Flags - British And French Flags On State Department. Visit of Allied Commission, 1917," captures a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts the Union Jack and the French Tricolor flags proudly hoisted on the exterior of the United States Department of State building. The central flag, which bears a striking resemblance to the flags of Cuba or Puerto Rico, adds to the intrigue of this historic scene. The visit of the Allied Commission, represented by the flags, signified the strengthening of diplomatic ties between Britain and France with the United States during a pivotal time in world history. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the political climate of the era and the importance of international cooperation. The architectural beauty of the Department of State building, with its grand glass entrance and imposing columns, serves as a fitting backdrop to this momentous occasion. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the power of diplomacy and the enduring symbolism of national flags.
