EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, showcases a unique scene aboard the Susquehanna ferryboat in New York City. Serving as a tuberculosis day camp, this vessel provided a temporary respite for men infected with this devastating disease. The image captures a group of these patients engrossed in an intense game of dominoes on the deck. Despite their affliction, these individuals find solace and camaraderie through this simple yet engaging pastime. Seated around a makeshift table, they appear fully immersed in the strategic moves of the game. Their expressions reveal determination mixed with moments of lightheartedness amidst their challenging circumstances. The setting itself adds to the intrigue of the photo; an early 20th-century steamboat navigating along the picturesque river provides an unexpected backdrop for such a serious health issue. This juxtaposition highlights both the resilience and creativity employed by medical professionals during that era to combat tuberculosis. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of infectious diseases like tuberculosis. It also reminds us to appreciate those who dedicated themselves to providing care and support for patients during difficult times. Granger Art on Demand has once again captured an extraordinary moment from history through its vast collection – reminding us that even within adversity, human connection can thrive.
