EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Newton Diehl Baker, the United States Secretary of War, standing on a reviewing stand during the First World War. The image, most likely taken in 1917 or 1918, shows Baker in a serious and focused expression as he observes soldiers passing by. The American flag flies proudly behind him, symbolizing the patriotism and unity of the country during wartime. Baker, who served as Secretary of War from March 1916 to March 1919, played a crucial role in mobilizing and organizing the American military effort during the First World War. He oversaw the expansion of the Army and Navy, the creation of new military camps and facilities, and the implementation of selective service. The photograph was taken by Harris Ewing, a prominent American photographer who worked for the Harris Ewing Inc. photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. Ewing's collection, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives, is now housed in the Library of Congress. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who served in the military during the First World War, as well as the political leaders who guided the country through a time of great upheaval and change. The banner above the reviewing stand reads "Congressional Library," indicating that this photograph may have been taken for official records or for use in congressional reports. The image is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the people, events, and political climate of the United States during the First World War.
