EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in medical history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a dedicated laboratory worker in a pristine white lab coat, carefully filtering a batch of typhoid vaccine through a series of glass bottles. The year was 1917, and the United States was deeply engrossed in the First World War. The need for effective vaccines to protect soldiers from diseases, especially typhoid, was paramount. The photograph is a testament to the tireless efforts of the U.S. Army Medical School during this period. The scene is set in a well-equipped laboratory, with various medical instruments and bottles neatly arranged on the shelves. The laboratory worker, with a determined expression, wears a lab coat adorned with the insignia of Harris & Ewing, indicating her association with the studio. This photograph is an essential piece of American history, illustrating the critical role of medical research and development during the First World War. It also highlights the crucial contributions made by women, such as Martha Ewing Kuntze and her husband George W. Harris, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. Martha, who is also known as Martha Ewing Newcombe, was an accomplished microbiologist and immunologist, making her an integral part of the team that developed these life-saving vaccines. This photograph, now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and innovations that shaped the course of medical history during the 1910s.
