EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The image, titled "Allied Commission To U.S. At Mount Vernon: Groups At Tomb of Washington, 1917," was taken by renowned American photographers Harris & Ewing. The scene unfolds at the iconic Mount Vernon estate in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, where the tomb of George Washington, the first President of the United States, stands proudly. In the photograph, dignitaries from the British and French War Commissions gather around the mausoleum, paying their respects to the American founding father. The men, dressed in formal attire, stand solemnly, some with their hands over their hearts, while others look on with contemplative expressions. Flags of the United States, Britain, and France flutter in the breeze, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between the Allied nations. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the international solidarity during a time of global conflict. It also showcases the architectural grandeur of Mount Vernon, which continues to be a source of national pride and heritage. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress, and serves as an important historical document of the early 20th century.
