EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Society Circus," was captured between 1909 and 1923 by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image showcases the excitement and energy of a circus performance during the early 20th century in the United States. The location of the circus is not explicitly stated, but the outdoor setting, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, suggests a country or rural area. In the foreground, we see a group of performers and animals preparing for their act. A performer, dressed in a colorful outfit, is poised to jump over a series of obstacles, displaying remarkable agility and skill. Two dogs, their eyes fixed on the performer, seem to anticipate the next move. The image exudes a sense of anticipation and joy, as the audience, unseen in the photograph, eagerly awaits the performance. The photograph, a glass negative, is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, the founders of Harris & Ewing, were pioneers in the field of photography, and their studio produced a vast array of images documenting American life during the 1900s, including this snapshot of a bygone era. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the circus and the thrill of live entertainment.
