An interview with the mother, Catherine, reveals that she is the caretaker of an orphanage in the city taking care of no less than 50 children. of the two children in this picture, the one on the left is Catherine’s own child and the one on the right is her adopted. When this picture was taken, the family was waiting for Catherine’s sister, Mary to return safely from a trip into town.
