EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment in Parisian history, depicting a working-class couple in the late 1800s, unable to provide for their young child. With heavy hearts, they make the difficult decision to leave their unwanted infant at the Hospice des Enfants-Trouves (Hospice of Found Infants), a founding home in Paris. Established in 1690, the hospice was a refuge for abandoned children, providing them with food, shelter, and a chance at a new life. The couple's expression of sadness and despair is palpable as they drop their child off at the hospice, knowing they cannot support him. The historical significance of this image lies in the stark contrast between the couple's working-class background and the institution's role in providing a lifeline for abandoned children. The Hospice des Enfants-Trouves played a crucial role in the adoption process during this time, with thousands of children being taken in and eventually adopted by families from all walks of life. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical context of adoption and the challenges faced by working-class families during the 19th century. The image also highlights the importance of social welfare institutions in providing support for those in need, particularly for vulnerable children. Despite the emotional toll on the couple, their decision to leave their child at the hospice ultimately gave him a chance at a better life. This photograph is a poignant and powerful reminder of the complexities of family, poverty, and the human spirit.
