EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Red Cross: Canteen Station, Bristol, Va.-Tenn," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the early days of humanitarian aid in America during the first few decades of the 20th century. The scene unfolds at an outdoor Red Cross canteen station in the border town of Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee. A group of men and women, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, gather around a large, makeshift canteen, which is stocked with containers filled with food and drink. A nurse, dressed in a pristine white uniform, stands at the back of the canteen, ready to attend to the needs of the weary travelers. In the foreground, a man in a suit and hat sits on the running board of a Model T Ford, while another man, dressed in work clothes, leans against the car. The automobiles in the background suggest the importance of road transport in the delivery of aid to those in need. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of community and compassion that defined the Red Cross during this period. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and transportation trends of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of American history or photography. The Harris & Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress, is a rich resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of America during the early 20th century.
