EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we find Hudson Maxim, an American inventor and chemist, proudly posing with his wife Lillian Durban Maxim in 1917. The image, captured by the renowned photography studio of George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, showcases the couple in formal attire, with Hudson wearing a three-piece suit and a full beard, while Lillian dons an elegant dress and a fur coat. Hudson Maxim, born in the United States during the late 19th century, is best known for his inventions in the field of explosives, most notably the development of smokeless gunpowder. His brother, Hiram Maxim, is famously recognized for inventing the Maxim gun. The couple's marriage is a testament to their shared success and the support they provided each other in their respective careers. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, textiles, and social norms of the era. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, science, or fashion, and serves as a reminder of the significant contributions Hudson Maxim made to the world of chemistry and explosives. The glass negative, which measures an impressive full length, is a stunning example of the artistic skill and technical expertise of the Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The portrait invites us to appreciate the rich history and heritage of the United States, and the people who shaped its scientific, industrial, and social landscape.
