EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1917, Viscount Ishii Kikujiro, the Head of the Japanese Mission to the United States, stands among a group of distinguished gentlemen at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Viscount Ishii Kikujiro in formal attire, wearing a bowler hat and a tailored suit. He is positioned third from the left in the front row, surrounded by military officials and diplomats. This photograph offers a glimpse into the diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States during the early years of the First World War. The year 1917 marked a significant period in international relations as the United States, which had remained neutral in the conflict, began to shift its stance towards the Allied Powers. Viscount Ishii Kikujiro's presence at Annapolis underscores the importance of diplomatic dialogue and the role of diplomats in shaping international relations. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing collection, which documents various aspects of American life during the 1910s. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and his wife Martha Ewing Harris, was a prominent player in the photography industry during the early 20th century. Their work, which includes glass negatives and black and white prints, is now preserved in various institutions, including the Library of Congress. This image, with its historical significance and intriguing composition, invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of diplomatic history and the role of photography in capturing and preserving it.
