EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, showcases a bustling scene outside Woodward & Lothrop's Department Store in Washington, D.C. The image, from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, captures the essence of the early 20th century American industrial revolution. The scene is filled with activity as delivery trucks, adorned with the Woodward & Lothrop logo, line the street. Parcels and packages are being unloaded from the trucks, ready to be transported into the store. The glass negative, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the department store during this era. Woodward & Lothrop, also known as Woodies, was a prominent retail emporium in Washington, D.C. that opened its doors in 1896. The store was known for its wide range of merchandise and its commitment to providing excellent customer service. The photograph captures the store's delivery trucks, a vital component of its operations, as they bring goods to the store for sale. The trucks, with their simple designs and horse-drawn trailers, reflect the transportation methods of the time. The scene also showcases the diversity of the workforce, with men of various races and ethnicities working together to unload the trucks. The photograph is a testament to the industrial and commercial growth of the United States during the early 1900s. This photograph is not only a historical record of Woodward & Lothrop's operations but also a visual representation of the vibrant and dynamic city of Washington, D.C. during this period. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the evolution of retail and transportation industries in America.
