Based on a photograph by social reformer Jacob Riis. Original image in the public domain from the Museum of the City of New York. Colorized by Kelly Short using Gimp 2.6.11. The left boy has snow on his hat and coat sleeve, and a chunk of ice is perched on his wrist. These details are in the original black and white version, which may also be viewed in this photostream. Adding color improved contrast, making the snow and ice easier to see. Some sources suggest that the photographer posed these children, but it's difficult to understand why a boy would leave these cold artifacts on his body and clothing if he were awake. Although the colors I've added are based on conjecture, the suffering here was real and stark. Homeless barefoot boys sleep huddled over a grating for warmth.
