EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures soprano opera singer Mabel Garrison Siemonn during World War I, fitting a man for a knitted sweater. The image, taken by Bain News Service between c1915 and c1920, showcases the talented artist engaging in a different kind of performance offstage - using her skills to provide warmth and comfort to those serving on the front lines.
In this photograph, Mabel Garrison is seen diligently working on knitting a sweater for the man standing before her. Her focused expression and skilled hands highlight her dedication not only to her craft as an opera singer but also to supporting the war effort through practical means.
As she fits the sweater onto the man's frame, there is a sense of camaraderie and unity captured in this moment. It serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals from all walks of life came together during times of crisis to support one another.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness a lesser-known aspect of wartime activities on the home front. Mabel Garrison's contribution goes beyond just singing on stage - she embodies resilience, creativity, and compassion in providing much-needed warmth during challenging times.
