EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Marine Corps, U.S.N. Machine Gun Unit Demonstration at Ball Park, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American military history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a group of United States Marines demonstrating their machine gun skills at Ball Park in 1917. The Marines, dressed in their military uniforms, are intently focused on their tasks, their expressions determined and serious. The machine guns, a formidable symbol of naval warfare, are prominently displayed, their barrels glinting ominously in the sunlight. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the fashion and equipment of the time. The Marines' uniforms, with their high collars and loose-fitting trousers, contrast sharply with the modern, streamlined appearance of their weapons. The image also underscores the importance of military training and the role of technology in warfare during the early 20th century. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C., documented a wide range of subjects, from political figures and social events to military demonstrations and everyday life. This particular photograph, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, is a testament to the studio's skill and the enduring value of photography as a medium for capturing history.
