EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, we see Jimmie Chinquanana, the ninth child of a family residing at 11 Hamilton Street in New York City. The image was captured in the dimly lit inner room of their home, located at the rear of their store. The atmosphere is heavy with sadness and struggle. Jimmie's father, an abusive man, is depicted in the background, huddled in the shadows. His wife, a victim of his cruelty, is not present in the frame. Tragically, six of their eleven children have already passed away. The circumstances of their deaths are not mentioned in the accompanying records, but the weight of loss is palpable. The young boy in the foreground, Jimmie, appears solemn and lost in thought. He is below grade level, suggesting that his education has been disrupted by the family's hardships. The image also reveals that Jimmie's behavior is not always good, adding another layer of concern to his situation. The photograph was taken by a nurse investigator from the Department of Public Charities on September 16, 1913. The records associated with this image, numbering 894, provide further insight into the family's plight. The grim reality of their living conditions and the challenges they face are etched on their faces and in the dimly lit room. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by families in New York City during this era. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of social support systems in times of need. The image is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the complexities of urban life in the early 20th century.
