EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S. Capitol - Cleaning Interior, 1914," by Harris & Ewing, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the daily operations of the iconic U.S. Capitol building during the early 20th century. The image features a group of African American custodians diligently cleaning spittoons in the Capitol's grand interior. The men are hard at work, wielding brooms, brushes, and buckets, their focused expressions conveying a sense of dedication and pride in their job. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the often unseen labor that kept the Capitol running smoothly. At the time, African American workers like these men held many of the custodial and service jobs in Washington D.C., including those at the Capitol. This image, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, offers a unique perspective on the lives of these workers and the important role they played in maintaining the historic building. The image, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the stark contrast between the grandeur of the Capitol's interior and the everyday tasks of the custodians. The men are shown outside, near the windows, which let in natural light and add an element of brightness to the scene. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era and the people who shaped it.
