This black and white wood engraving from 1867 transports us back in time to the bustling city streets of New York. The image captures the attic and entrance to Mrs. M Mahan's apartment at 22 Roosevelt Street, situated in the heart of the Lower East Side. The tenement building stands tall, its weathered exterior reflecting the hardships faced by its inhabitants. A young girl is seen standing at the entrance, her curious gaze hinting at a life filled with resilience amidst adversity. Inside, we catch a glimpse of an intimate living space that tells a story of struggle and survival. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the poverty that plagued many American families during this era. It sheds light on their daily lives within cramped quarters, where dreams were nurtured against all odds.

It provides insight into how individuals from diverse backgrounds coexisted in close proximity while navigating economic challenges. Through this wood engraving created by The Granger Collection, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten – an era marked by determination and hope despite overwhelming circumstances.
