EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia Parks - Feeding Pigeons in The Parks," was captured by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing a serene scene in a park setting. In the heart of the image, a man and a woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, sit on a park bench. They are engrossed in the simple pleasure of feeding pigeons, scattering breadcrumbs on the ground. The tranquility of the moment is further emphasized by the surrounding park elements: a fountain in the background, a flower bed in bloom, and a walkway leading to the distance. The photograph, taken by George William Harris, was part of the Harris Ewing Inc. collection, which was later acquired by the Library of Congress. The studio, established by George Harris and his wife Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a significant contributor to American photography during the early 1900s. Their work captured the essence of everyday life, documenting various aspects of society, from urban landscapes to people at leisure. This photograph, with its timeless appeal, invites us to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple joys of life. It serves as a testament to the power of photography to transport us to different eras and evoke emotions through a single image.
