EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Food Garden Commission, between 1910 and 1920" by Harris & Ewing, captures a scene of patriotic dedication and self-sufficiency during the early 20th century, specifically during the period leading up to and including the First World War. The image showcases a bustling food garden, filled with fresh and preserved vegetables, including beans, capsicum, onions, and potatoes. The garden is overseen by a banner that reads "Be a Soldier of the Soil; Produce Food - Conserve Food - Dry and Can Food," emphasizing the importance of food production and preservation during a time of national emergency. The photograph, which is believed to be a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection, exudes a sense of community spirit and resilience. The garden is located in Washington, D.C., where the National Emergency Food Garden Commission was headquartered. The commission, which was established in response to the food shortages and rationing caused by the war, encouraged Americans to grow their own food and preserve it for future use. The photograph features a variety of containers, including jars and bottles, filled with bottled fruit and vegetables, such as beans and peppers. The use of Kilner jars, which were popular during this time for their airtight seals, is evident in the image. The American flag and flags of various states can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of national pride and unity. This photograph is a valuable reminder of the importance of community and self-sufficiency during times of crisis and the role that food production and preservation play in ensuring the well-being of a nation. The dedication and hard work of the individuals in this photograph reflect the spirit of the Home Front during the First World War and the enduring legacy of the Food Garden Commission.
