Winter on the Skyscrapers - A Glimpse into a Unique American Institution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Winter on the Skyscrapers" offers a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary American institution's fight against tuberculosis. In an effort to combat this devastating illness, sanatoriums were created for children on the rooftops of towering skyscrapers. Dressed in Eskimo attire, these brave children live in the open air from dawn till dusk. With only tents shielding them from rain and wind, they embrace their unique environment as part of their treatment. Astonishingly, early results indicate that this unconventional approach yields promising outcomes. The illustration captures a moment filled with youthful joy and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Boys and girls play freely under the winter sun while surrounded by breathtaking cityscapes. The fresh air serves as both medicine and solace for these young patients who find themselves battling tuberculosis. Beltrame Achille's intricate artwork beautifully depicts this innovative medical endeavor taking place in New York City during February 1920. His attention to detail showcases each child's Eskimo-inspired costume design, emphasizing their adaptation to life high above ground level. This photograph not only highlights the ingenuity of American healthcare but also underscores the importance of creativity when it comes to combating diseases. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, human resilience can prevail through innovative solutions and unwavering determination.
