EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Mabel Boardman, a prominent American philanthropist, graces this image from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, taken during the Red Cross Luncheon in 1917. Dressed in elegant attire, Miss Boardman, who was the only woman to ever serve on the District of Columbia Board of Commissioners, exudes an air of sophistication and grace as she enjoys a meal during the charity event. With a glass of milk in hand and a sandwich poised to her lips, she engages in conversation with an unidentified woman, both of them fully engaged in the moment. The photograph, reminiscent of a bygone era, offers a glimpse into the social fabric of early 20th century America, where philanthropy and charity were cornerstones of community life. The Harris & Ewing Collection, a significant archive of historical images, provides a rich resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in exploring the heritage and history of the United States.
