EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," captures a significant moment in medical history during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a laboratory scene at the U.S. Army Medical School where researchers are working diligently to produce typhoid vaccines. Typhoid fever, a bacterial disease that spreads through contaminated water and food, was a major health concern during the war. The U.S. Army recognized the importance of preventing the spread of the disease among its troops and invested in research and development to create an effective vaccine. The photograph shows Martha Kuntze, a researcher at the Army Medical School, holding a vial of the typhoid vaccine. She is surrounded by glass beakers, test tubes, and other laboratory equipment, all essential for the production of the vaccine. Martha Ewing Newcombe, another researcher, is seen in the background, examining a slide under a microscope. The scene is a testament to the advancements in medical science during the early 20th century and the critical role that research and development played in the war effort. The U.S. Army Medical School's success in producing the typhoid vaccine helped to protect soldiers from the disease and contributed to the overall health and well-being of the military. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of scientific research and innovation in times of crisis.
