EDITORS COMMENTS
National Emergency: A Rural Response to Food Scarcity during the Early 1900s During the tumultuous period between 1910 and 1920, the United States found itself embroiled in a global conflict that would test the nation's resilience and resourcefulness. The First World War brought about unprecedented challenges, including food shortages that threatened the livelihoods of millions. In response, the National Emergency Food Garden Commission was established to encourage citizens to grow their own vegetables and contribute to the national food supply. This evocative photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, captures the spirit of this grassroots initiative. Set against the backdrop of a rural landscape, a makeshift vegetable garden flourishes beside a building proudly flying the American flag. The window shade is fashioned from an old 'Piedmont Gold Rod' sack, a sustainable method to enrich the soil with nitrogen. The image embodies the ingenuity and determination of the American people during this time. With the country's future uncertain, the garden represents a beacon of hope and self-sufficiency. The rustic, rural scene is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and the power of collective action in times of crisis. This photograph, a glass negative from the Harris & Ewing Collection, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission and the spirit of innovation that characterized the early 20th century in America.
