'It is important to reiterate that health care workers have been on the front lines battling infection and disease here in the city for centuries.'
New York City is only as strong as the medical and emergency workers who keep its residents safe and healthy.
The Byron Company Collection is the archive of a multigenerational commercial photographic company that began with Jospeh Byron in 1892 and was eventually taken over by his son Percy Byron and run until 1942. The collection came to the Museum of the City of New York under the auspices of the first curator of photography, Grace Mayer.
These photographs are fascinating because they are images made just as the United States began the professionalization of a doctor's training — Johns Hopkins Hospital had only introduced basic science instruction and a residency program in 1891. This was a time when the city's tenements were rife with disease and a better understanding of the causes and ways to combat the illnesses were slowly being understood.
