EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ELLIS ISLAND: CHILDREN, c1910" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The portrait captures the innocence and vulnerability of a young brother and sister from Marken, a small village in the Netherlands, who have just arrived at Ellis Island. The children are dressed in traditional Dutch clothing, with the boy wearing wooden clogs and a hat while his sister dons a delicate dress adorned with intricate details. Despite their beautiful attire, it is evident that they are feeling overwhelmed by their new surroundings as tears stream down both of their faces. In this poignant moment frozen in time, we witness not only the physical journey these children have undertaken but also the emotional toll it has taken on them. Their tear-streaked faces tell stories of uncertainty and longing for what they left behind. Photographed by Augustus Sherman around 1910, this image serves as a reminder of the countless immigrants who passed through Ellis Island during that era seeking hope and opportunity in America. It symbolizes both the challenges faced by those who embarked on such journeys as well as their resilience. Displayed against a sepia-toned background, this photograph evokes nostalgia for an era long gone while reminding us of our shared history as descendants of immigrants who sought better lives for themselves and future generations.
