EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Camp, 1917 or 1918,' captures the essence of life at an American army camp during the First World War. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a group of soldiers gathered around a cooking pot, engaged in the preparation of their meals. The camp's building exterior, with its simple yet functional design, can be seen in the background. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, appear focused and determined as they go about their domestic tasks. One soldier, wearing an apron to protect his clothes, tends to the fire, while another adds wood to keep it burning. A third soldier, holding a cooking pot, stirs the contents with a long wooden spoon. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the demands of war necessitated a shared responsibility for the most basic of tasks. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the daily life of soldiers during this period. It also showcases the importance of domestic skills and the use of household appliances, even in the most makeshift of settings. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century, known for its high-quality glass negatives and images of American life.
