Football at Georgetown University, 1911: A Tradition of Camaraderie and Competition This photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of American football at Georgetown University. The image showcases a heartfelt moment during a game between two teams, with players from both sides coming together for a handshake following a hard-fought contest. The scene is set on a football field, with the players dressed in their respective uniforms and helmets. The team from Georgetown University is easily identified by their blue and gray jerseys, while their opponents remain unidentified. The players display a range of emotions, from determination and focus to relief and camaraderie. The photograph is a testament to the enduring tradition of football in America and the unique role it plays in our cultural heritage. At the time, football was an essential pastime for many young men, providing an outlet for competition, physical activity, and social interaction. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was a leading photographic studio in Washington, D.C. Their company, Harris & Ewing, Inc., was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which allowed for exceptional clarity and detail in their photographs. This image, taken from the Library of Congress's George W. Harris Collection, is a valuable addition to the historical record of American football and the experiences of a bygone era.
