EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of little girls, adorned in their uniforms, striking a pose on a small stage. Each girl delicately cradles a doll in her arms, creating an endearing tableau that speaks volumes about the innocence and camaraderie shared among these young souls. Taken around 1911 at the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in Kingsbridge, Bronx, this image offers us a glimpse into the lives of these orphans who found solace within the walls of this institution. The girls' expressions radiate both vulnerability and resilience as they proudly showcase their cherished dolls. The stage upon which they stand hints at the possibility of an upcoming pageant or performance held for their amusement. It is through such events that these orphaned children may have found moments of joy amidst challenging circumstances. William Davis Hassler's skillful photography immortalizes this poignant moment in time, allowing us to reflect on the power of unity and companionship even in times of adversity. This photograph serves as a testament to the strength and resilience displayed by these young girls as they navigate life within the confines of an orphanage. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this historical artifact transports us back to early 20th-century America while reminding us that every child deserves love, care, and opportunities for happiness regardless of their circumstances.
