EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "National Emergency Food Garden" and dated between 1910 and 1920, captures a moment in American history during the early 20th century. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a vegetable garden in the countryside, likely commissioned by the National Emergency Food Garden Commission to promote homegrown produce during a time of food shortages. The photograph, taken by George W. Harris or Martha Ewing Kuntze, depicts a rustic scene of a rural garden in full bloom. Rows of vegetables stretch out towards the horizon, with a few figures in the distance tending to the land. The garden, located in the United States during the First World War era, represents a vital aspect of the home front during wartime. The photograph is a testament to the importance of horticulture and self-sufficiency during a time of scarcity. The garden's abundance stands in stark contrast to the food shortages that were prevalent during this period. The image also reflects the regionalism of the time, with a focus on the simple pleasures of rural life. The photograph, which is a glass negative, is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, a significant archive of American history. The image's historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe collections. This photograph is a valuable reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of Americans during a time of crisis and the importance of homegrown food production.
