EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Food Garden Commission, between 1910 and 1920" by Harris & Ewing, captures a poignant moment in American agricultural history. The image shows a farmer deeply concentrated as he plows a furrowed field with a modern Case tractor. The scene takes place during a time of great national need, with the United States experiencing the effects of the First World War and the subsequent food shortages. In response to the crisis, the National Emergency Food Garden Commission was established to encourage and support the growth of home gardens to supplement the food supply. This photograph is a testament to the Commission's efforts, as the farmer in the image is likely working on a food garden to help feed his community. The background of the photograph reveals the industrial side of agriculture, with the smoke stacks of a factory in the distance. The contrast between the traditional farming methods in the foreground and the modern machinery and industry in the background highlights the evolving nature of agriculture during this period. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. The studio, which was founded in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and became a leading supplier of photographs to newspapers and magazines. This particular photograph, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, is a standout in their collection. The image is a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of American farmers during a time of crisis, and serves as an important piece of agricultural and historical heritage.
