Doll Bed: 1931
Washington, D.C., 1931. "Children in hospital bed with dolls." Retroactive wishes for a speedy recovery, kids. Harris & Ewing glass negative. View full size.
Doll faces
That was quite a collection of dolls! They'd have had to be careful that they didn't fall off the bed, though, because at least most of those dolls would break.
I hope the children were comforted by the dolls. They used to keep people hospitalized a lot longer, and usually had strict visiting hours and didn't allow parents to stay there over night. I hope these children recovered and had good lives!
Heartbreaking!
The look on the face of the child in front is so tragic; having grandkids of my own, I don't know how I would react if I saw this look on their faces.
God Bless these kids!
