Okay, history buffs. Are the children bald because of heat, poverty, fashion, lice, illness, or what?

I'm thinking this could be almost anywhere in New York City, but I wonder if this was taken off Bleecker Street.

Haircuts are probably an accommodation to the heat, but their heads look a little patchy -- might have had ringworm.
