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. The image was taken in 1917, after President Woodrow Wilson severed diplomatic relations with Germany due to the escalating tensions leading up to the First World War. The Adams Express Company van parked outside the embassy building is filled to the brim with the count's possessions, ready for transport. The glass negatives of this photograph capture the industrial scene of the removal process, with the embassy's exterior serving as a backdrop. The image shows the departure of Count von Bernstorff and the end of an era in U.S.-German diplomatic relations. This photograph is a significant historical record of the First World War era and the changing political landscape of the early 20th century. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents various aspects of American life during this period. The collection, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives, provides a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying this time in history. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality work and its extensive coverage of American life during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to their skill and the historical significance of their work. The image is in black and white, and the glass negatives have been preserved in the Library of Congress collection for future generations to study and learn from. The photograph shows the count's possessions being moved out of the embassy, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in international relations.
