EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Physical Examination, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures the intense and thorough process of a military recruit's physical examination during the first world war. The image shows a doctor in uniform, wearing a white lab coat, carefully examining the chest and lungs of a young man, who stands barefoot and dressed in simple, loose-fitting clothing. The doctor uses a stethoscope to listen for any irregularities, while a woman, believed to be Martha Kuntze or Martha Ewing Newcombe, looks on with a serious expression. The recruit wears a simple tunic and trousers, with a pair of high-top boots next to him, suggesting that he is about to undergo training for horse riding or other physical activities. The scene takes place outdoors, in front of a wooden carriage, adding to the rustic and rural atmosphere. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rigorous and comprehensive health checks that were carried out on recruits before they were sent to the front lines. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable historical record of the military preparation during the first world war.
