EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," is a poignant reminder of the significant role the U.S. Army played during the First World War in advancing medical knowledge and protecting its soldiers from disease. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image captures a laboratory scene at the Army Medical School, where a laboratory worker is seen preparing typhoid vaccines. The man, dressed in a white lab coat and protective gloves, carefully handles glass vials filled with the vaccine. He wears a hat adorned with a medical insignia, signifying his role in the medical corps. A woman, identified as Martha Kuntze, stands nearby, observing the process. Kuntze, who later married George W. Harris of Harris & Ewing, was a key figure in the development of the typhoid vaccine during this period. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the home front during the First World War, where the scientific community and the military worked together to combat diseases that threatened the health and wellbeing of soldiers. The importance of this work is underscored by the fact that typhoid fever was a major cause of morbidity and mortality among troops during the war. This image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the dedication and innovation of the medical community during a time of great need. It also serves as a reminder of the critical role that public health and immunology continue to play in protecting populations from disease.
