EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW YORK: POVERTY, 1879. Capturing the harsh reality of daily life in late 19th century New York City, this poignant print transports us to a time when poverty and struggle were an unfortunate part of everyday existence. Taken just before daybreak during the sweltering summer months, the image showcases a row of tenement-houses that housed countless families enduring the heat and hardship. The engraving, created by Sol Eytinge in 1879, beautifully captures the somber atmosphere with its intricate details. The dim gaslight from lampposts casts long shadows on the deserted street as exhausted residents finally find respite in sleep after another grueling night. The scene is a stark reminder of how poverty permeated every aspect of life for these North American city dwellers. This historical snapshot serves as a powerful testament to resilience amidst adversity and sheds light on an era often overlooked. It invites us to reflect upon our progress as a society while acknowledging that challenges still persist today. Displayed proudly by Granger Art on Demand, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with America's past and gain insight into the struggles faced by those who came before us.
