EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1910s, we witness a unique gathering in Detroit, Michigan, where the Visiting Nurses Association and the Grand Army of the Republic National Encampment came together to celebrate an anniversary. The scene unfolds in the picturesque Grand Circus Park, with a backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue skies. Tents, pitched in neat rows, serve as temporary shelters for the attendees, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and community. The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a prominent organization for Union veterans of the American Civil War, while the Visiting Nurses Association was a pioneering healthcare organization dedicated to providing care to patients in their own homes. The combination of these two groups in one event underscores the importance of both military and healthcare services in American society during this era. The photograph captures a diverse group of people, both men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, standing and mingling outside. Some are clad in military uniforms, paying homage to their past service, while others are dressed in more civilian attire. The image also includes several nurses, who are an essential part of the Visiting Nurses Association, and they are seen standing proudly, embodying the spirit of compassion and care. This evocative image, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a fascinating glimpse into American history, showcasing the unity, resilience, and progress of the early 20th century. The black and white dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. image, preserved in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of the United States and the important role that organizations like the Visiting Nurses Association and the Grand Army of the Republic played in shaping the nation's history.
