EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from May 1917, Dora Rodrigues stands proudly before the Cosmos Theater on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. As a recruiter for the service branches during the First World War, Rodrigues played a vital role in encouraging young Americans to answer the call to duty. Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, Rodrigues exudes a sense of determination and patriotism. Her crisp blouse and full skirt are accented by a belt cinched at the waist, while her hair is neatly pinned up under a stylish hat. The recruiter's serious expression and steady gaze convey the gravity of the situation at hand. Behind her, the marquee of the Cosmos Theater advertises a lineup of popular films, offering a glimpse into the entertainment options available to the public during wartime. The theater's grand facade, with its ornate columns and intricate details, serves as a striking backdrop to the recruiting scene. The photograph's composition is further enhanced by the use of puttees on Rodrigues' legs, a military accessory that underscores her connection to the armed forces. The image captures a moment in history when the home front and the battlefield were inextricably linked, and ordinary citizens like Dora Rodrigues played crucial roles in supporting the war effort. This poignant photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the spirit of unity and sacrifice that defined the American experience during the First World War. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people like Dora Rodrigues, who answered the call to serve their country during a time of great need.
