EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "NEW YORK: HOMELESS, 1873" captures a poignant scene from the past. In this wood engraving, we see a group of homeless women seeking refuge for the night in a shelter located within a police station in New York City. The image is filled with raw emotions and tells a story of struggle and resilience. The setting itself is stark, with bare walls and minimal furnishings. A small stove provides some warmth amidst the cold city streets outside. These women have sought solace here, finding temporary respite from their harsh reality. Their tired faces reflect the hardships they endure daily as they navigate life on the margins. This engraving serves as an important reminder of the social issues that plagued American society during this time period. It sheds light on the plight of those living in poverty-stricken slums and highlights how public institutions like police stations often became makeshift shelters for those without homes. Through this historical lens, we are reminded to appreciate our present circumstances while also acknowledging that homelessness remains an ongoing issue today. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect on our collective responsibility towards creating a more compassionate society where everyone has access to safe housing and support systems.
