EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a heartbreaking scene at a health clinic in New Mexico during 1943. In the image, we see a malnourished 5-year-old boy being examined by medical professionals from the Taos County Cooperative Health Association. The photograph, taken by John Collier, exposes the harsh reality of malnutrition and its devastating effects on children. The young boy's fragile state is evident as he stands naked in the clinic, his body showing signs of deformity caused by prolonged malnutrition. A woman, presumably a healthcare worker or nurse, points out these physical abnormalities while conducting an examination. The stress and concern on her face reflect the urgency to address this child's dire condition. Set against an interior backdrop of what appears to be a modest clinic space, this image sheds light on the public health challenges faced by communities in mid-20th century New Mexico. It serves as a reminder of the importance of accessible healthcare services and efforts to combat malnutrition among vulnerable populations. Preserved through time by Granger Art on Demand, this photograph continues to evoke empathy and raise awareness about the ongoing struggle for adequate nutrition and healthcare for all children worldwide.
