EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the early 1900s. A group of little girls, dressed in their neat uniforms and adorned with delicate sashes, stand proudly on the steps leading up to a chapel. The setting is believed to be the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in Kingsbridge, Bronx. Their serious expressions hint at the formality of the occasion as they pose for this group portrait. Each girl's presence tells a story of resilience and strength amidst adversity. These orphans find solace within these walls, where faith intertwines with hope. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an emblematic representation of American history during the 1910s. It serves as a reminder of how institutions like orphanages played crucial roles in caring for those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this poignant scene, it becomes evident that unity prevails among these young souls facing life's challenges together. Their shared experiences have forged unbreakable bonds that transcend their circumstances. This remarkable photograph from William Davis Hassler offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, it stands as testament to both human resilience and compassion that continues to shape our society today.
