EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the early 1900s captures a poignant moment in history - tuberculosis patients on the deck of a ferry in the Hudson River, New York. The image, taken by the renowned Brown Brothers, showcases a group of individuals affected by this devastating disease. In sepia tones that evoke nostalgia and melancholy, we see men and women seated on the ferry's deck. Their expressions reveal both resilience and vulnerability as they navigate their journey across the Hudson River. This snapshot offers a glimpse into their lives at a time when tuberculosis was rampant and treatment options were limited. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of human strength amidst adversity. These individuals, united by their shared struggle with tuberculosis, find solace together on this ferryboat - perhaps seeking respite or access to medical care across state lines. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far medical advancements have come since then. Tuberculosis is no longer an epidemic haunting our society thanks to improved healthcare practices and scientific breakthroughs. Preserved within The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print invites us to reflect upon our progress while honoring those who endured such hardships during turn-of-the-century America.
