EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "IMMIGRANT FAMILY, 1883. Childless New York" captures the struggles faced by a large German immigrant family in finding lodging in bustling New York City during the late 19th century. The image is actually an American cartoon created by Frederick Opper in 1883, depicting the challenges of housing for immigrants at that time. In this poignant scene, we see a weary-looking father and mother standing on a crowded city street with their children by their side. Their faces reflect both determination and desperation as they search for a place to call home. The brownstone buildings towering above them serve as a stark reminder of the limited options available to them. The absence of children within this family adds another layer of complexity to their situation, highlighting the additional difficulties they face in securing suitable accommodation. This political cartoon serves as social commentary on the harsh realities experienced by many immigrant families during this era. Through Opper's artistic talent, he brings attention to the plight of these hardworking individuals who strive for better lives while navigating unfamiliar streets and cultural barriers. This historical photograph print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared human experience and encourages us to reflect upon our own attitudes towards immigration today.
