EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Walter Reed Hospital Flu Ward," captures a poignant moment in American medical history between 1910 and 1920. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a crowded ward at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center during an influenza epidemic. The room is filled with patients, some lying in hospital beds, while others sit up, looking weak and ill. Nurses move around the room, tending to their patients with a sense of urgency and compassion. The glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the country's struggle against the deadly flu virus that swept through the United States during the early 20th century. The photograph captures the somber atmosphere of the ward, with the sterile white walls and simple wooden furniture adding to the sense of isolation and vulnerability. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of medical advancements and the tireless efforts of healthcare workers during times of crisis. This powerful photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze for Harris Ewing Inc., is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the progress of medicine in the United States.
