EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1901 and 1910 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the historic Willard Hotel bar during the early 20th century. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases the Beaux-Arts interior design of the establishment, with its blue and monochrome color palette reflecting the elegant and refined atmosphere of the time. Three male employees, dressed in formal attire, are depicted behind the bar. Notably, one of the men is African American, adding a layer of diversity to this snapshot of Washington D.C.'s social and cultural history. The Willard Hotel, established in 1818, has long been a significant part of the United States' historical landscape, having served as a popular gathering place for politicians, diplomats, and other influential figures. This photograph, taken over a century ago, invites us to reflect on the rich heritage of the Willard Hotel and the various professions and occupations that contributed to its storied past. The three waiters, with their serious expressions and poised demeanor, embody the dedication and hard work that kept the hotel's bar running smoothly during the 1900s. This image, a testament to the past, continues to captivate and inspire us with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
