NEW YORK FOUNDLING, 1890 - A Glimpse into the Heart of Sister Irene's Compassion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print captured by Jacob Riis in 1890, we are transported to the New York Foundling - an institution that became a sanctuary for countless children in need. Standing amidst a group of young souls, their innocent faces radiate hope and trust as they gather around Sister Irene, a sister of Charity who played an instrumental role in establishing this haven back in 1869. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling dormitory where these vulnerable children found solace and care. The room is adorned with toys and dolls, providing them with moments of joy amidst challenging circumstances. Sister Irene's unwavering dedication to their welfare shines through her gentle presence as she stands tall among them. Located in Manhattan's North area, the New York Foundling served as both orphanage and asylum during this late turn-of-the-century period. It symbolized not only refuge but also represented the spirit of charity that permeated society at that time. This photograph from The Granger Collection serves as a testament to the power of compassion and community support during times when vulnerable individuals needed it most. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those like Sister Irene who dedicated their lives to uplifting others and find inspiration to continue fostering kindness within our own communities today.
