EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Seal of The United States at State Department, 1914," captures a significant moment in American history. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the Great Seal of the United States being carefully stamped at the State Department in Washington D.C. in the early 1910s. The Seal, a symbol of the authority and sovereignty of the United States, is being turned by a man, likely an employee of the State Department, as another man, with a serious expression, presses down on the stamping mechanism. The Seal, which features an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, is imprinted onto a piece of paper or parchment. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the technology and mechanism used during this era to create official seals and stamps. The image is particularly noteworthy for its historical significance and the intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of the State Department during this time period. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time, which was known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative techniques. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, was a leading provider of visual documentation for Congress and other government agencies during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of American government and the technology that supported it during this period. It serves as a reminder of the importance of the Great Seal of the United States and the role it plays in the country's governance and diplomacy.
