EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing in 1910, captures the U.S. Soldiers and Sailors Monument located in Annapolis, Maryland. The monument, dedicated in April 1911, honors the unknown French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the shores of College Creek during the American Revolutionary War. The Battle of the Chesapeake of 1781 was a pivotal naval victory for the French against the British fleet outside Chesapeake Bay. The monument, sculpted by J. Maxwell Miller, stands on the campus of Saint John's College, which was formerly the site of a field hospital on the way to Yorktown. The Battle of the Chesapeake was a significant turning point in the American Revolutionary War, also known as the American War of Independence, which took place from 1775 to 1783. This historic monument is a testament to the international cooperation and bravery of the soldiers and sailors involved in the fight for American independence." "The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical record of this important monument and the events it commemorates. The Harris Ewing photographic studio was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, and later joined by Martha Ewing Newcombe and Joseph Maxwell Miller. The studio produced glass negatives, which were later used to create black and white prints like this one. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architecture and history of Annapolis and the United States during the early 20th century.
