EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from the late 19th century - a camp of consumptives near Lake Worth, Florida. The image, taken by an American photographer, showcases the harsh reality faced by those afflicted with tuberculosis during this time period. The camp is depicted as a small settlement amidst the natural beauty of Lake Worth. Tents dot the landscape, housing individuals suffering from consumption, also known as tuberculosis. This devastating disease was prevalent in America at that time and often required patients to be isolated in camps like this one. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "America's Wonderlands" a pictorial and descriptive history book published in Philadelphia in 1893. It serves as both documentation of historical significance and an illustration for readers to understand the challenges faced by consumptives during that era. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by these individuals who fought against such a formidable illness. It stands as a testament to their courage while also shedding light on an important chapter in American medical history.
