EDITORS COMMENTS
great question! Here's a potential 250-word caption for the print of Edgar Rickard, Executive Assistant to the U.S. Food Administration, taken by Harris & Ewing in 1917: This photograph captures Edgar Rickard, an accomplished mining engineer who served as the Executive Assistant to the U.S. Food Administration during World War I. The Food Administration was a federal agency established in 1917 to ensure the efficient production and distribution of food supplies to the American people and the military. Rickard's expertise in industrial engineering and management proved invaluable in this role, as he helped implement measures to increase food production and reduce waste. Rickard is depicted in the photograph sitting at his desk in an office setting, with a candlestick telephone and a bell telephone from the Bell Telephone Company nearby. The use of both types of telephones reflects the advancements in communication technology during the early 20th century. The photograph is a glass negative taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. run by the husband-and-wife team of George H. and Martha S. Ewing. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a civil servant during this period, as well as the important role the Food Administration played in ensuring the country's food security during a time of war. Rickard's serious expression and focused gaze suggest the weight of responsibility he bore in this position. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century in the United States.
