Abstract |
Sewing class at the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS). Classes were offered to patients as part of rehabilitation. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish workingmen along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. The sanatorium was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver.

On back of photograph: ''#462 JCRS Sewing classes, such as the one pictured above, are popular at the Sanatorium of the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society in Denver. Patients are taught the fine points of embroidery, monogramming, knitting, crocheting, and other such arts. Some of them who never before held a needle amaze the ''folks back home'' by the skill they have developed. Bedside sewing instruction is provided for those who cannot come to class.''
