EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "French Commission To U.S. - Procession Down 16th Street, 1917," captures a historic moment in the annals of international relations. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image documents a grand procession of French officials making their way down 16th Street in Washington D.C., during the first world war. The photograph was taken north of Florida Avenue, near Meridian Hill, with Henderson's Castle visible at the right edge of the frame. In the background, the U.S. Capitol dome can be seen in the distance. The procession is led by a group of French military officers on horseback, followed by a crowd of dignitaries and officials, all dressed in formal attire. The horses, with their regal bearing, add to the grandeur of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the political and diplomatic ties between France and the United States during a time of global conflict. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of international cooperation and the role that diplomacy plays in shaping the world. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the 20th century. The photograph is also a beautiful example of the art of photography during this period, with its crisp lines, deep shadows, and rich tonal range.
