EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Physical Examination, 1917," captures a poignant moment during the United States' preparation for the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a physician carefully examining the bare feet of a soldier, likely during a mandatory physical examination. The soldier, dressed in his uniform, stands at attention with his hands behind his back, demonstrating the discipline and readiness expected of the American military. The scene takes place in a makeshift examination room, with a large glass window providing natural light and a table filled with medical instruments. The physician, Martha Ewing Kuntze, wears a white lab coat and a stern expression, focusing intently on the soldier's feet. Martha Ewing, who was one of the first women to open a photographic studio in Washington D.C., worked alongside her husband, George W. Harris, at Harris Ewing Inc., a prominent photographic studio in the nation's capital. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is now part of the Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs Division. This image is a testament to the extensive role of the medical profession during wartime, as well as the importance of physical fitness and readiness for military service. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War and the critical role that the United States played in the global conflict.
