EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant colorized engraving from the 19th century captures a moment of connection and camaraderie among homeless women in a charity shelter in New York City around 1870. The image depicts the women gathered together, deep in conversation as they reminisce about better times. Despite their current circumstances of poverty and homelessness, these women find solace in each other's company as they share stories and memories. The flickering candlelight casts a warm glow on their faces, highlighting the resilience and strength that shines through even in moments of hardship. The hand-colored woodcut illustration beautifully conveys the emotions of sadness and misery that these women may be experiencing, while also capturing the spirit of hope and support that can be found within community. It serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy towards those who are less fortunate. As we reflect on this historical scene, let us remember to extend kindness and understanding to those facing adversity today. May we strive to create a world where everyone has access to shelter, support, and opportunities for better times ahead.
