EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1917, we are transported back in time to a moment of great significance for the American Red Cross. Evalyn Walsh McLean, wife of Edward Beale McLean, stands elegantly on the right side of the frame. Her poised demeanor exudes confidence and grace as she attends a luncheon held in honor of the organization. Evalyn's husband was none other than Edward Beale McLean, publisher of the renowned Washington Post. As an influential couple during this era, their presence at such an event would have undoubtedly garnered attention and support for the cause. The image captures Evalyn at her finest; her fashionable attire reflects both style and sophistication that were characteristic of early 20th-century America. The Red Cross emblem prominently displayed on her lapel serves as a reminder that even those with privilege recognized the importance of humanitarian efforts during times of crisis. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time but also represents a significant chapter in American history. It showcases how individuals like Evalyn Walsh McLean used their influence to contribute to society's welfare through organizations like the American Red Cross. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, let us remember those who came before us – pioneers who paved the way for philanthropy and compassion while leaving an indelible mark on our nation's history.
