EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Belgians At Keith Theater, 1919," is an evocative snapshot of history captured by the esteemed Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image presents a unique moment in time as soldiers from the Belgian army, fresh from the battlefields of the First World War, take a break from their duties to enjoy an evening of entertainment at Keith's Theater in Washington D.C. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen on stage, interacting with dog-carts. One of the carts, located on the left side of the image, appears to be carrying a mounted machine gun. The soldiers, some with moustaches, exhibit a range of expressions, from serious to lighthearted, as they engage with the audience and the dogs. The theater, a charming reminder of the era's vaudeville tradition, is adorned with banners and flags, adding to the festive atmosphere. The soldiers' uniforms, with their intricate details and various shades of brown, provide a glimpse into the fashion of the time. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a poignant reminder of the human side of war, as soldiers took a brief respite from the horrors of the battlefield to enjoy a night of camaraderie and entertainment. The image, in black and white, transports us back to a time of change and transition, as the world adjusted to the aftermath of the First World War.
