EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Red Cross Group,' captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, portrays a poignant moment in Washington, DC's history. The image shows several automobiles, their engines idling as they pull up to the entrance of a neoclassical building. The architectural grandeur of the structure, adorned with columns and an obelisk atop, stands in stark contrast to the modern motor cars that encircle it. The Red Cross, an iconic humanitarian organization, is suggested by the presence of the vehicles, which were likely used to transport supplies or volunteers to the building. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intersection of two distinct eras: the waning days of the horse-drawn carriage and the burgeoning age of automobile transportation. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, captured this scene with meticulous attention to detail, using a glass negative process. Their work, part of the Harris Ewing Collection, documents the changing landscape of America during the 1910s and 1920s, providing invaluable historical insight. The image's composition, with the vehicles arranged symmetrically around the building, adds to its visual appeal and underscores the sense of order and organization that characterized the Red Cross during this time. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanitarianism and the ingenuity of transportation technology in the early 20th century.
