EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the bedtime routine of young girls residing in the Homeless Little Girls Dormitory at the Five Points House of Industry. The image, created by an American School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. The scene portrays a stark contrast between faith and poverty as these innocent children kneel beside their iron cots to say their prayers before sleep. The room is filled with shadows, symbolizing the hardships and struggles faced by those living in New York City's slums during that time. The Five Points House of Industry served as a refuge for working-class families who found themselves destitute and homeless. This illustration was featured in Mrs Helen Campbell's book "Darkness and Daylight" which shed light on the harsh realities of life for immigrants and low-income individuals in America. Through this image, we are reminded of both the resilience and vulnerability of these young girls. Despite their circumstances, they find solace in prayer and trust that better days will come. It serves as a testament to the strength within them even amidst such challenging conditions. This print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also prompts us to reflect on issues surrounding homelessness, poverty, and social inequality that persist today. It reminds us to be grateful for our own blessings while inspiring empathy towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
