EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Harriman family, led by stockbroker Oliver Harriman Jr., as they join forces with Junior Naval Scouts in 1918 to collect donations for the Second War Fund of the American Red Cross during World War I. The image showcases a moment of unity and generosity during a time of great need, highlighting the spirit of community and compassion that defined this era.
In the photograph, we see Oliver Harriman Jr.'s wife Grace Carley Harriman standing proudly alongside her husband and their children - Oliver Carley, John, and Borden. The two Junior Naval Scouts add a touch of youthful energy to the scene, symbolizing hope for a brighter future amidst the turmoil of war.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this historical snapshot, transporting us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Through their actions, the Harriman family exemplifies not only affluence but also altruism, using their privilege to make a positive impact on society.
As we reflect on this image captured by Bain News Service over a century ago, we are reminded of the power of coming together as a community to support those in need. It serves as an inspiring reminder that even in times of hardship, acts of kindness can make all the difference.
