EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Red Cross," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image depicts a scene of humanitarian aid in the countryside of America during the early 20th century. In the foreground, a group of women, dressed in Red Cross uniforms, are gathered around an automobile. The car, a symbol of modern road transport, is loaded with supplies, ready to be distributed to those in need. The women, with determined expressions on their faces, embody the spirit of compassion and selflessness that defined the Red Cross during this era. The Red Cross, an integral part of the American response to both natural disasters and military conflicts, played a crucial role in providing aid and assistance to those affected. The setting of the photograph, with the open road stretching out behind the women and the sun casting long shadows, underscores the sense of movement and progress that characterized the era. The image is a poignant reminder of the important work of the Red Cross and the dedicated individuals who answered the call to help their fellow citizens during times of need. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of over 40,000 glass negatives that document the social, political, and cultural history of America during the 20th century. The collection, which includes images of everyday life, notable events, and iconic figures, is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a time and place.
