EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," showcases a dedicated laboratory worker in the U.S. Army Medical School, administering the typhoid vaccine during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, captures the intensity and importance of the work being done on the home front. The laboratory setting is filled with the faint glow of a Bunsen burner, casting an eerie yet focused light on the scene. The laboratory worker, dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and protective apron, carefully holds an ampoule of the typhoid vaccine in one hand, while using the other to prepare a syringe. A glass beaker filled with a clear liquid sits on the table next to him, while a hat and coat hang on the wall behind. The atmosphere in the photograph is one of seriousness and determination. The worker's intense gaze and focused expression convey the gravity of the situation, as he prepares to administer the life-saving vaccine to a soldier. The flames from the Bunsen burner add an element of heat and energy to the scene, while the glass ampoules and laboratory equipment add to the sense of scientific innovation and progress. This photograph is an important reminder of the crucial role that medical research and innovation played during the First World War, and the sacrifices made by those on the home front to ensure the health and well-being of the troops. The Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress is a valuable resource for historians and researchers, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the people and events that shaped our history.
