EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Red Cross," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image portrays a group of young girls, dressed in pristine Red Cross uniforms, standing in a row against a neutral background. The girls, with their serious expressions and hands folded neatly in front of them, exude a sense of purpose and dedication. During this era, the American Red Cross played a significant role in providing humanitarian aid within the United States and around the world. The organization's uniforms, which included a distinctive red cross emblem, became a symbol of compassion and service. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important work of the Red Cross and the role of women in providing aid during the early 20th century. The girls' full-length apparel, with their collared dresses and neatly pressed skirts, further emphasizes the formal structure and organization of the Red Cross during this time. The glass negative, a testament to the technical prowess of the Harris Ewing studio, captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the history of humanitarian efforts and the enduring spirit of service and compassion.
