EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Home Economics Section," was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1910 and 1920. The image transports us back in time to an industrial kitchen where women, dressed in crisp white aprons and adorned with fashionable clothing, are engrossed in various home economics experiments. The setting is filled with a sense of purpose and productivity as these women work diligently, testing out new appliances and equipment. The room is furnished with a chest of drawers and a glass-fronted cabinet, displaying an array of kitchen essentials. The women are surrounded by an impressive collection of domestic appliances, including a stove, refrigerator, and mixer. The laboratory-like atmosphere is further emphasized by the presence of laboratory equipment, such as beakers, test tubes, and Bunsen burners. The women in this photograph are not just cooks or housewives; they are lab assistants, technicians, and pioneers in the field of home economics. Their role extended beyond the traditional domestic sphere, as they explored the scientific aspects of food technology and the latest innovations in household appliances. This image is a testament to the groundbreaking work being done during this era to improve the efficiency and convenience of home life. The black and white glass negative, taken by George W. Harris or Martha Kuntze of Harris & Ewing, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the blend of fashion, technology, and science that defined the Home Economics Section during the 1910s and 1920s.
