EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "German Squadron Visit To U.S. Taft, 1912," captures a historic moment in international relations between Germany and the United States. The image was taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, specifically by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe. The photograph depicts a group of German naval officers, dressed in their formal uniforms, paying a visit to then-President William Howard Taft at the White House. The President, dressed in a suit and bowler hat, stands in the center, warmly greeting the German delegation. The officers, led by Admiral von Tirpitz, are seen in their dress coats and caps, some with decorative swords at their sides. The interior of the White House is visible in the background, with ornate furnishings and artwork adorning the walls. The glass negatives of this photograph are part of the George W. Harris and Company Collection at the Library of Congress. This photograph is a significant historical artifact, as it documents a time when diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States were still strong, prior to the tensions that would arise during World War I. The image showcases the fashion of the early 1910s, with the formal attire of the politicians and naval officers providing a glimpse into the sartorial customs of the era. The photograph also underscores the importance of political and diplomatic visits in shaping international relations.
