EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Military Training, 1917 or 1918," captures a moment in history as soldiers undergo rigorous training during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a group of men in various stages of bathing, donning bathing costumes by the edge of a river. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and relaxation amidst the intensity of military life. The photograph was likely taken at Harris & Ewing's photographic studio, which was a prominent fixture in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1912, became a leading supplier of images to the U.S. Congress and various government agencies. The men in the photograph, dressed in their military uniforms, display a range of expressions as they engage in the simple pleasure of swimming. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during this period, highlighting the importance of maintaining both physical and mental well-being even amidst the chaos of war. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection, which is now housed in the Library of Congress. It serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War. The image's timeless composition and the raw emotion it evokes continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of historical art.
