EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Food Administration, U.S. War Kitchen, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment during the First World War when the domestic sphere became an essential part of the war effort. The image shows a group of women, dressed in simple aprons, busily working in a large, well-lit kitchen. The women are engaged in various cooking and baking tasks, with some peeling vegetables, others kneading dough, and still others adding ingredients such as baking powder and granulated sugar to mixing bowls. The Food Administration, a federal agency established in 1917 to ensure the efficient production and distribution of food during the war, played a significant role in mobilizing the country's resources to feed the troops and the population at home. The U.S. War Kitchens, like the one depicted in this photograph, were set up across the country to provide training and resources for women to learn how to cook and preserve food efficiently. The photograph also highlights the gender roles during this period, with women taking on the responsibility of providing nourishment for their families and the military. The image is a testament to the importance of the home front in the war effort and the crucial role that women played in ensuring the nation's food supply. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress and is a reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made during a pivotal moment in American history.
