EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the momentous occasion of the consecration services at Saint Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church in Washington D.C., held in December 1912. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, documents the reverence and solemnity of the event as clergy members, dressed in their ecclesiastical robes, participate in the consecration of the church. The congregation is seen gathered in the church, with acolytes in their traditional apparel standing at the ready. The men, dressed in long robes and carrying candles, add an air of tradition and ceremony to the scene. The churchman leading the service, dressed in a long, flowing robe and wearing a mitre, presides over the event with a sense of gravity and importance. The glass negative photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with the clergy's robes and the congregation's formal attire reflecting the era's sense of dignity and respect for religious traditions. The photograph also serves as a testament to the enduring history and heritage of Saint Thomas P.E. Church and the Episcopal Church in the United States. The photographers, George William Harris and Martha Ewing, were renowned for their work documenting the people, places, and events of Washington D.C. and the wider American scene during the early 20th century. Their photographic studio, Harris Ewing Inc., was a leading provider of images for publications and institutions, and their work continues to be a valuable resource for historians and researchers today.
