EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Boy Scouts, 1913," captures a group of young Boy Scouts assembled inside a room adorned with furniture reminiscent of the early 20th century. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the Scouts standing at attention, each wearing their distinctive uniforms. The Boy Scouts of America movement was in its infancy during this time, having been established in 1910, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the organization's early history. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, both prominent figures in the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio. The studio, which was based in Washington D.C., was renowned for its high-quality glass negatives and was a leading supplier of photographs to the Library of Congress. The interior of the room in the photograph is furnished with a large wooden desk and a few chairs, suggesting a formal setting. The Scouts, dressed in their uniforms, display an air of seriousness and discipline, reflecting the values instilled in them through the Boy Scout program. This photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, is an important historical artifact that offers insights into the fashion and social norms of the time. The image also highlights the role of the Boy Scouts in shaping the lives of young Americans during the 1910s, instilling in them a sense of responsibility, citizenship, and adventure.
