EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Baseball, Congressional - Game, 1917," is a fascinating glimpse into American history, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image showcases an intense moment during a Congressional baseball game, a tradition that began in 1865 to foster camaraderie among the members of the United States Congress. The photograph features a baseball player in mid-catch, poised and focused with a determined expression on his face. His teammates, dressed in their baseball uniforms, are scattered around the field, some in action, others in anticipation. The contrast between the focused intensity of the players and the relaxed, almost casual posture of the spectators in the background adds depth and intrigue to the image. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when baseball was rapidly gaining popularity in the United States. The black and white medium adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a simpler era. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives, making it an invaluable contribution to American heritage art. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Inc. in 1896. The studio was known for its high-quality photography and was a favorite among politicians, celebrities, and the general public. The photograph is now part of the Library of Congress collection and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that define America.
