EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant scene from the 19th century, showcasing the Home for abandoned children in Hong Kong established by the Berlin Women's Association for China. The image, taken by a German photographer, offers a glimpse into the lives of these vulnerable children who found solace within this charitable institution. In this snapshot, rows of tables are filled with children dressed in traditional Chinese costumes. Their innocent faces reflect both resilience and longing as they navigate their childhoods without families or homes. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of the plight faced by orphans and foundlings during that era. The Berlin Women's Association for China played a crucial role in providing welfare to these homeless children, offering them shelter, care, and hope amidst their challenging circumstances. The photo encapsulates the compassion and dedication exhibited by this organization towards improving the lives of abandoned youth. Through its composition and monochromatic tones, this photograph evokes emotions surrounding themes such as poverty, homelessness, and precariousness. It stands as an enduring testament to how charity transcends borders – with German philanthropists reaching out to support those in need across Europe and Asia. Preserved within private collections today, this historical print is not just an artifact but also a window into humanity's capacity for empathy and kindness even during times of great adversity.
