EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Goat Team' and dated between 1910 and 1917, is a poignant snapshot of rural life during the early 20th century, as documented by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing. The photograph captures an African American man, dressed in bib overalls and a simple, long-sleeved shirt, skillfully navigating a makeshift wagon through a dusty street. The unique mode of transportation, however, is not that of horses or mules, but rather a team of goats. The man's expression is one of determination and focus as he expertly guides the animals, their curved horns adorned with colorful ribbons. The goats, with their alert and curious gazes, seem to understand the task at hand and follow their leader's lead. The scene exudes a sense of simplicity and self-sufficiency, a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of rural communities during this era. The photograph, taken as a glass negative, is a precious piece of history, showcasing a moment in time that might otherwise have been lost to the annals of history. The image is a reminder of the diverse and often overlooked aspects of American life during the 1910s, and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a prominent fixture in Washington D.C. during the early 1900s. Their work, which includes this image, is now part of the Heritage Art Collection, providing us with a rich visual record of American history.
