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, identified as Martha Kuntze, preparing typhoid vaccine at the U.S. Army Medical School. The scene takes place in a laboratory setting, with various glass beakers and cooking pots filled with liquids and gas cookers in the background. Martha, dressed in a lab coat and holding a glass beaker, is intently focused on her task, adding a substance to the vaccine mixture. The serious expression on her face underscores the importance of her work in protecting soldiers from the deadly disease. Typhoid fever was a major health concern during the First World War, and the development and distribution of a reliable vaccine were crucial to preventing its spread among troops. Martha Kuntze's role in this process was essential, and her dedication and expertise are evident in this powerful image. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, was a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. Their work documented various aspects of American life, including the home front during the First World War. This photograph is a testament to the important role of science and medicine during times of conflict and the dedication of individuals like Martha Kuntze in advancing medical knowledge and protecting the health and well-being of soldiers and civilians alike.
