EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MEMPHIS: BLACK ORPHANAGE" takes us back in time to the year 1870, showcasing a wood engraving of the Colored Orphan Asylum located in Memphis, Tennessee. The image portrays a poignant scene from the late 19th century South East, where an African American girl stands amidst a group of orphans and women. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this orphanage, which served as a safe haven for children who had lost their parents. The solemn expressions on their faces hint at the hardships they may have endured, yet there is also resilience and hope shining through. In this snapshot of history, we witness how communities came together to care for those less fortunate. The presence of dedicated women surrounding these children speaks volumes about their commitment to providing love and support in an era marked by racial inequality. This image serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, compassion can prevail. It invites us to reflect on our own roles within society and consider how we can make a positive impact on the lives of others. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this significant piece from American history with utmost respect and admiration. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an important chapter in Memphis' past – one that reminds us of both struggle and strength within marginalized communities.
