One of the cards in the collage is "The Singer Dorcas Society."
A Dorcas Society was a sewing circle, usually associated with a church, which sewed clothing for the poor. It was named after a character (Tabitha, also called
Dorcas
) described in the Acts of the Apostles (9:36).The original society was founded in Douglas, Isle of Man, on December 1, 1834, as part of the community's thanksgiving for being spared from an outbreak of cholera. The poorer families in town had their clothes and bedding destroyed as part of the effort to prevent the disease. However, the little girls shown in the Singer card are probably not sewing clothes for the poor as none would be able to operate that Singer machine.The girl in the middle does look as though she is about to get up and try.The card is an advertising card from the Duke University collection, Emergence of Advertising in America, and was printed in New York about 1895.
