EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Motorcycle And Side-Car, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment in American military history during the First World War. The image showcases a U.S. Army soldier skillfully maneuvering a motorcycle with a sidecar attached, loaded with supplies. The motorcycle, a vital mode of transport during this period, was used to deliver essential items to the front lines, enabling the efficient logistics of the armed forces. The photograph was taken at Harris & Ewing's photographic studio, which was a prominent name in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a preferred choice for documenting the country's political and social landscape. The soldier in the photograph wears a serious expression as he expertly navigates the uneven terrain, highlighting the determination and focus required during wartime. The sidecar, filled with supplies, adds to the sense of urgency and importance of the mission. The image is a testament to the crucial role of motorized transport in the military during the First World War and the ingenuity of the soldiers who operated them. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 30,000 glass negatives and 2,000 prints. It is a valuable historical resource, providing insights into the people, events, and culture of the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the United States Army during the First World War and the critical role of transportation in military operations.
