URBAN REVEWAL, c1886. The Duty that Lies Near
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a powerful political cartoon from 1886 by Eugene Zimmerman, published in Puck magazine. Titled "The Duty that Lies Near" the artwork addresses New York City Mayor Russell Grace and highlights the urgent need for urban renewal. In this thought-provoking illustration, Zimmerman depicts a late 19th-century Manhattan street overwhelmed with garbage and filth. A man stands amidst the squalor, symbolizing poverty and despair in the city's slums. The cartoon suggests that while new parks are commendable, it is essential to prioritize creating clean and livable spaces within these dirty streets. Zimmerman's artistic prowess shines through as he uses vivid imagery to convey his message effectively. By juxtaposing the dilapidated surroundings with an idealized park scene in the background, he emphasizes the stark contrast between reality and aspiration. "The Duty that Lies Near" serves as a poignant reminder of society's responsibility towards its citizens' well-being. It calls upon Mayor Russell Grace to address pressing issues such as overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate housing prevalent during this era of rapid industrialization. This historical photograph print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers a glimpse into America's past struggles with urban decay and inequality while urging us to reflect on our own duty towards building inclusive communities for all.
