EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "French Commission To U.S. - Procession Down 16th Street, 1917," captures a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a grand procession making its way down 16th Street in the United States. The crowd lines the streets, eagerly watching as a group of distinguished French officials pass by in an open-top car. Accompanying the French commissioners are several horses and motor cars, adding to the sense of grandeur and importance of the occasion. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time, as the United States prepared to enter the war on the side of the Allies. The French Commission was in the country to discuss military and diplomatic matters with American officials, and this procession marked the beginning of their official visit. The buildings and houses in the background add to the sense of stability and order, contrasting with the turmoil of the war raging in Europe. The photograph was captured by George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio, which was founded by George's father, George Henry Harris, had a reputation for producing high-quality images that captured the essence of historical events. This photograph is a testament to their skill and the importance of their work in documenting history.
