EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant scene from the early 20th century at Hull House: Boys Club in Chicago, Illinois. In this image, children are seen lying on cots on the rooftop of Elizabeth McCormick's Open Air School No. 2, wrapped snugly in blankets. The photograph exudes a sense of tranquility as these young boys find solace and rest amidst the bustling city. The open-air concept was revolutionary for its time, providing fresh air and natural light to improve the health and well-being of urban children. It is evident that Hull House aimed to create a nurturing environment for these boys, offering respite from their daily struggles. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be moved by the innocence and vulnerability displayed by these sleeping children. The tree branches gently frame the composition, symbolizing growth and resilience even in challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a reminder of how institutions like Hull House played an essential role in supporting underprivileged communities during turn-of-the-century America. It stands as a testament to Elizabeth McCormick's dedication to improving the lives of these boys through education, care, and compassion. Granger Art on Demand has captured not only an image but also a piece of history that continues to resonate with viewers today.
