EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "National Guard of D.C. - Capt. Louis Wilson, 1916," captures the introspective and focused expression of Captain Louis Wilson as he sits at his folding writing desk, preparing for duty during the early years of the First World War. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a military officer during this pivotal time in American history. Captain Wilson is dressed in his full military uniform, complete with puttees and leggings, which were commonly used to secure the uniform and protect the legs during military training and combat. His attire is both practical and formal, reflecting the seriousness of his role as a leader in the National Guard. The desk, designed to fold up and be stored inside a trunk, is a testament to the nomadic nature of military life. The glass negative photograph, taken by George William Harris or Martha Ewing Newcombe of Harris & Ewing, reveals intricate details of the captain's uniform and the textured surface of the desk. The photograph is part of the vast and historically significant Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. It offers a unique perspective into the daily life of a military officer during the early 20th century and serves as an important reminder of the sacrifices made by men and women in uniform during times of war.
