    Paid whom? The photographer or the family?
  • Mike said:
    They're still dressed better than most people today!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Michiel2005 You're right. Sorry, I was unclear... Mrs White paid A.H. Poole photographers to take this photo.
  • Swordscookie said:
    This is just so powerful on so many levels that it is hard to look at, hard to see and hard not to feel deeply moved by it. Three times over the past twenty four hours members of my family have mentioned the homeless and the current weather conditions and then this photograph appears, what a powerful image to reinforce that problem? If Mrs. White paid to have this photograph taken it was not for her delectation but to be used to illustrate a point and we are the beneficiaries of her munificence. This shot is so stark and such a powerful reminder of the brutality of poverty and how it can affect across those generations. Super if disturbing shot Carol, thank you for the reminder!

    "Mrs. Sprague, Mrs. Stiness, and her daughter are the guests of the mother of Mrs. Stiness, Mrs. Avice Wheaton Borda, at her villa on Ocean Road, where she has been spending the summer and fall, having recently been joined there by her husband, Mr. Wenceslao Borda, of Porto Rico." books.google.com/books?id=OJkUAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA81&o... At age 19, Inez Sprague (1889-1981), "the belle of Rhode Island," granddaughter of the former governor Sprague (also the granddaughter of Salmon P. Chase), eloped with Harry Stiness, the son of a judge. She was supposed to marry another man the next day. They had a daughter, but were divorced within a few years. news.google.com/newspapers?id=Jj0oAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KAUGA... www.sprague-database.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID... Inez's mother was the former Avis (or Avice) Weede, married three times--the third time to Wenceslao Borda Jr., of Puerto Rico. Inez's daughter was Avice Wheaton Stiness (30 November 1908-1980).
