Commentary
For Angel Cherry, 12, Friday was the happiest day of her life. She had a home and something to look forward to. Unlike the burned-out structure she used to live in, the three-story building at 3100 W. Washington has no rats. It has heat, lights and clean walls without holes in them.There is a place where Angel can have her own bedroom. She proudly shows off the vacant room that she has chosen to be her own. It is bright, with lemon yellow walls and a closet large enough for any wardrobe, Chicago.

Marks
On verso: manuscript title and newspaper caption with artist's credit and manuscript date affixed.

Materials
Ferrotyped prints have a sensitive surface, usually shiny and thinner, because they are put through a press while still wet. Ferrotyping makes the surface of the photograph smoother. Light does not scatter as much on a smoother surface, so this increases contrast. That makes ferrotyped images better for press photography.
