EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures soprano opera singer Mabel Garrison Siemonn in 1917, as she digs a spade into the ground at a demonstration garden next to the U.S.S. Recruit in Union Square, New York City. The wooden mockup of a battleship was built by the Navy during World War I to recruit seamen and sell Liberty Bonds.
Mabel Garrison's powerful presence is evident as she showcases her support for the war effort through this unique display of patriotism. Her passion for both music and country shines through in this historic moment frozen in time.
The image exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to a pivotal period in American history. The juxtaposition of the elegant opera singer wielding a spade against the backdrop of naval recruitment adds depth to the photograph.
