Saint Monica's Home · 1914 · 2 pictures

This 1914 report from Saint Monica's Home, a charitable institution in Roxbury, Massachusetts, served sick Black women and children and was written for its benefactors and supporters. Its photographs are rotated black-and-white halftones of a country site with trees and grass, and of a woman and a young girl seated outdoors on a bench, showing plain documentary portraiture a designer might use for period texture or for quiet, dignified scenes of care.
