Harris & Ewing photo studio
__NOTOC__
Harris & Ewing Inc. was a photographic studio in Washington, D.C., owned and run by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing.
As a rookie news photographer, Harris covered the Johnstown, Pa., flood of 1889. He worked at Hearst News Service in San Francisco from 1900 to 1903, then joined Roosevelt's press entourage on a train trip. Either Roosevelt〔According to the studio's nomination to the National Register of Historic Places: "()he president personally urged him to start a photographic news service in Washington because it was so difficult at that time for out-of-town newspapers to get timely photographs of notable people and events in the Nation's Capital." 〕 or a San Francisco newspaper editor angry at having no photograph of George Frisbie Hoar to run with the story of his death urged him to open a studio in Washington to photograph notable people there. He took Ewing, an artist and colorist with whom he had worked;〔 she financed the company and managed the studio.
Harris and Ewing opened their studio in 1905 at 1313 F Street NW. They replaced the building with the current building in 1924. As of 2014, the studio name was still visible on the building.
In the late 1930s Harris & Ewing was the largest photographic studio in the US;〔 at its peak, it had five studios, 120 employees, and a news photo service,〔 which like Underwood & Underwood employed large numbers of freelance photographers.〔 Although it was particularly known for formal portraits of government figures, it was a full service photographic firm. They became well known in 1908 with ''The Anatomy of a Smile'', a series of candid shots of William Howard Taft receiving the news by telephone of his nomination for the Vice Presidency.〔 Many performers also sat for portraits with the firm. Harris was the primary photographer until 1955, when he retired. He bought out Ewing's share of the company in 1915, but she continued to assist, especially through her social connections. The news service was sold in 1945.〔
The Professional Photographers of America named its highest award after Harris.〔
Harris died in 1964 at age 92.〔 Harris & Ewing closed in 1977.〔
On his retirement, Harris gave some 700,000 glass and film negatives to the Library of Congress,〔 which preserves them as the Harris & Ewing Collection in the Prints and Photographs Division. Largely taken in and around Washington between 1905 and 1945, the photos portray people, events, and architecture. Many are scanned and online.〔 The City Museum of Washington, DC also has a large number of Harris & Ewing photographs, and others are held by the National Portrait Gallery and the Newseum.〔
