Little Orphan Women CDV of five adolescent girls, three seated and two standing. The young ladies are wearing probably school dresses and the expressions on their faces as well as their posture tell that they do not come from an easy life. They pose in front of a painted backdrop. Back mark Jason Turner of Boston. I had a very similar CDV from the same maker marked "Little
Wanderers”. New England Home for Little Wanderers (NEHLW ) was founded in 1865 by 10 Boston area businessmen with an original goal of caring for children who had been orphaned and left homeless by the Civil War. NEHLW was not meant to become a permanent
residence for these children, but rather to serve as a way station where they could prepare for a new life. Sometimes that new life was found in families outside of the Boston area - even as far removed as the Midwest. Using trains to transport the children to their new
homes, the NEHLW thus became a part of the famous Orphan Train movement.
