EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Department of Agriculture, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a group of young people proudly displaying their accomplishments at the Boys & Girls Achievement Work Club during the First World War era in the United States. The children, dressed in simple yet fashionable clothing of the 1910s, don badges identifying their membership in the club. They are seen preserving fruit and vegetables, an essential contribution to the home front during the war. The scene is set in a rustic, country-style kitchen, filled with domestic appliances such as cooking pots, bottling equipment, and a cooker. The children are engaged in various tasks, from peeling vegetables to filling jars with chutney and bottled fruit. The boys wear simple shirts and trousers, while the girls don dresses, some with aprons, reflecting the gender roles of the time. The photograph is a testament to the economical and practical spirit of the era, with a focus on preserving food for future use. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcasing the important role of the Department of Agriculture during the First World War in promoting food production and conservation efforts on the home front. The photograph also highlights the crucial role of children in contributing to the war effort and the importance of community involvement during times of crisis.
