George Washington Carver in a Greenhouse, 1939

Agricultural scientist George Washington Carver worked in many kinds of spaces. Greenhouses were familiar sites of work, but he was also comfortable on farms, in laboratories, and on his beloved nature walks. It is unclear where this photo was taken, but it is likely a greenhouse at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where Carver worked in field and classroom from 1896 until his death in 1943.
