EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the Barnard Canteen in 1918 or 1919, during the aftermath of World War I. Soldiers and women can be seen playing musical instruments inside the Columbia University Gould Boathouse, located on 115th and Riverside Drive in New York City. The canteen was set up by Barnard College to provide a welcoming space for men passing through the city on their way home from war.
The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and relief as these individuals come together to enjoy music and companionship after enduring the hardships of battle. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment.
