Paid whom? The photographer or the family?

They're still dressed better than most people today!

Michiel2005 You're right. Sorry, I was unclear... Mrs White paid A.H. Poole photographers to take this photo.

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!

The sacks were rented? Didn’t realize this was done. Great photo!

plaisanter~ I didn't either, but they definitely all say "Hired Sacks"!

Swordscookie said:
The chances are that the horses and carts were hired on a daily basis also. Each horse owner would have a cart or two and would be hired each day when a load needed to be shifted. Not too many of the companies held a "fleet" of horses and carts as it was much less trouble and cheaper to hire in. I remember goind down the docks in Limerick in the early 50's and seeing lines of them waiting their turrn to pick up loads from ships at the quays.

Swordscookie Ah, well I was just being lighthearted about the "fleet" but that is valuable information about the hiring, thanks!

My grand aunt worked mending the hired sacks for Dennys.. The women used to sit around on the floor or on a pile of sacks and repair the sacks. They used an x pattern stitch within a square pattern of stitches. And a huge needle. Dennys had a premises in O'Connell Street in Waterford
