War Garden - Sheridan School, between 1910 and 1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing, capturing a moment in time during the early 20th century. The image depicts a group of boys and girls, seated and standing, outside the Sheridan School in the countryside. The children, dressed in simple clothing, are surrounded by a lush, green garden filled with vegetables and flowers. This scene is a testament to the War Garden movement during the First World War, when schools and communities across America were encouraged to grow their own food to support the war effort and reduce the strain on food supplies. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of agriculture and self-sufficiency during a time of global conflict. The boys and girls, some holding gardening tools, others seated on the school steps, exude a sense of determination and unity. The sign on the school wall reads "Sheridan School," adding a sense of place and community to the image. This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920, is a valuable piece of American history. It captures the spirit of the time, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the people during a period of great change. The glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the power of photography to preserve and document history. The image is a reminder of the importance of education, community, and the connection between people and the land.
