EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "ELLIS ISLAND: EXAMINATION" we are transported back to the early 20th century, a time when Ellis Island served as the gateway to America for countless immigrants seeking a new life. The image captures a pivotal moment in their journey, as they undergo examination for eye diseases upon arrival. The scene unfolds within the walls of an interior room at Ellis Island's immigration station. A doctor, dressed in his white coat, carefully examines each individual with great attention to detail. The room is filled with anticipation and hope mixed with apprehension, as these newcomers await their fate in this foreign land. Amongst them stands a young girl, her eyes wide with curiosity and perhaps fear of the unknown. An officer stands nearby, observing the process while ensuring order is maintained. Each person carries their luggage - suitcases that hold not only their belongings but also dreams of a better future. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by immigrants during this era. It symbolizes both the medical scrutiny they had to endure and the resilience required to embark on such an arduous journey towards North America. Preserved through time by The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this image offers us insight into one aspect of Ellis Island's rich history – its role as a medical checkpoint for those who sought refuge on American soil over a century ago.
