EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," captures a significant moment in medical history during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a laboratory worker in full protective gear administering the typhoid vaccine to a soldier. The scene takes place at the U.S. Army Medical School, likely in the United States during the 1910s. The soldier wears a hat and dress uniform, signifying his military status, while the laboratory worker, identified as Martha Kuntze, dons a long-sleeved lab coat, gloves, and goggles for safety. In the background, glass negatives and other laboratory equipment are visible, indicating the scientific nature of the work being conducted. The production of the typhoid vaccine was a crucial effort on the home front during the First World War. Typhoid fever was a common disease that spread through contaminated water and food, and soldiers were at high risk due to their living conditions. The vaccine, which was developed by Dr. Walter Reed and his team, was a vital tool in preventing the spread of the disease among troops. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the important role of medical research and innovation during times of war. It also highlights the dedication of individuals like Martha Kuntze, who worked tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of soldiers on the front lines.
