EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures General John J. Pershing, Commander of the American Expeditionary Forces on the Western Front during World War I, between 1916 and 1918. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Pershing in full military regalia, dressed in a heavy jodhpur uniform, complete with a cap adorned with a distinctive headdress. Pershing's boots, known as carriage boots, are pulled up to his knees, adding to his imposing presence. The General is depicted in a thoughtful pose, with one hand resting on the reins of a horse, suggesting a moment of contemplation before leading his troops into battle. The backdrop is a serene countryside, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene, in stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of the war. This photograph is a testament to the leadership and determination of General Pershing, who led the American forces with distinction during the First World War. It is a significant piece of historical art, capturing a pivotal moment in American military history and the 20th century. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading supplier of images to newspapers and magazines during this period, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography.
