Family with vegetable bin. Naples, Italy. 1944.
One of Wayne F. Miller’s wartime photo essays that prefigured his later work with children was Naples. Miller went ashore from the USS Ticonderoga while awaiting the invasion of southern France. Recently liberated, the city was teeming with street children, many of whom appeared to be fending completely for themselves. Miller was sympathetic to these resilient little people and was surprised to be informed that most of the vagrant youths were more of a historical fixture of the city than a result of displacement by the recent conflict.
