EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the innocence and resilience of little girls at the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in Kingsbridge, Bronx. Taken on October 20,1914, by William Davis Hassler, this image transports us back to a time when these young orphans were returning from chapel adorned in delicate white dresses with wreaths and garlands. The solemn expressions on their faces hint at the challenges they may have faced as children without families to call their own. Yet, there is also an undeniable sense of hope radiating from their eyes. The carefully arranged wreaths and garlands symbolize beauty amidst adversity – a reminder that even in difficult circumstances, joy can be found. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the power of community and compassion. The Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum provided these girls with not only shelter but also love and support during their formative years. It serves as a testament to the kindness that exists within humanity. This photograph is part of the New-York Historical Society's collection, preserving an important piece of American history for future generations to appreciate. Through its timeless beauty and emotional resonance, it invites us to reflect on our own capacity for empathy while honoring those who came before us.
