EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of little girls, dressed in uniform, standing proudly on a small stage. With delicate fans held in their hands, these young ones exude an air of grace and poise beyond their years. Taken around 1911 at the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in Kingsbridge, Bronx, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these orphaned children. The solemn expressions on their faces hint at the challenges they may have faced growing up without parents. Yet, there is also a sense of camaraderie and unity among them as they stand shoulder to shoulder. This snapshot freezes a moment from what appears to be a pageant or performance held within the walls of the orphanage. The photographer behind this poignant image is William Davis Hassler (1877-1921), whose work now resides in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. Through his lens, he captured not just an ordinary scene but rather an insight into American history during the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of resilience and strength amidst adversity. These little girls represent countless others who found solace and support within institutions like the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum. Their story resonates with us even after all these years – reminding us that compassion can create hope for those who need it most.
