EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Doorkeeper at State Dept," captured between 1910 and 1920 by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, offers a rare glimpse into the past. The image features a distinguished African American man standing proudly in the entrance of a grand government building, believed to be the Department of State in Washington, D.C. Dressed in a formal suit and wearing a hat on a hatstand, he assumes the role of doorman or commissionaire, greeting visitors and ensuring the orderly flow of foot traffic. The photograph, taken during the early 20th century, showcases the dignity and professionalism of this unnamed figure, who defied racial stereotypes and barriers to secure a respectable job in a prominent public institution. The interior of the building, with its ornate doors and glass negatives lining the walls, adds to the sense of history and importance. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded in 1912 by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading producer of images documenting American life during this era. Their work, which includes portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, offers valuable insights into the social, political, and cultural landscape of the United States during the 1910s and beyond. This particular image, with its powerful composition and poignant subject matter, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of African Americans in the face of adversity and discrimination.
