EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph by Harris & Ewing, the belongings of Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States from 1908 to 1917, are being removed from the German Embassy in Washington D.C. in 1917. The image captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, as von Bernstorff departed the US following President Woodrow Wilson's decision to sever diplomatic relations with Germany. The Adams Express Company van parked outside the embassy building is filled with the count's possessions, ready to be transported away. The glass negatives of this photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, provide a glimpse into the industrial process of removing the belongings of a high-ranking diplomat from a foreign embassy. The exterior of the embassy building can be seen in the background, adding to the context of the scene. Johann Heinrich Graf von Bernstorff, also known as Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, was a prominent figure during the early 20th century. His departure from the US marked a significant turning point in the lead-up to the United States' entry into the First World War. This photograph, taken by the renowned Harris Ewing Photographic Studio, offers a unique perspective on a historical event and the logistical process of moving belongings during that era.
