EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment between an investigator and Ida List, a young girl residing at 124 Ridge Street in New York City. Taken on September 16th, 1913 by Lewis Wickes Hine, this image reveals the harsh realities faced by families living in poverty during that era. Ida, only eight years old at the time, is shown suffering from chorea or St. Vitus dance, a debilitating condition characterized by involuntary movements. Born in New York to a mother who works tirelessly as a seamstress to make ends meet, Ida's family has been deeply affected by her father's alcoholism and abusive behavior. In this intimate scene captured within their modest home, the investigator engages in conversation with Ida List. The photograph conveys both compassion and concern as they discuss her illness and its impact on her daily life. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those afflicted with diseases like chorea during an era when medical advancements were limited. Hine's photograph not only documents the physical toll of illness but also sheds light on the social history of early 20th-century America. It offers viewers a glimpse into the hardships endured by families living in impoverished conditions on New York City's Lower East Side. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a testament to resilience amidst adversity while reminding us of our collective responsibility to address societal inequalities and provide support for those facing similar struggles.
