1856 Chinese Cigar Immigrant New York City Peddler Seller Stand Working Working Class
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW YORK: CIGAR SELLER" takes us back to the bustling streets of mid-19th century New York City. The image showcases a Chinese immigrant, proudly standing behind his wooden cigar stand, ready to cater to the needs of passersby. This wood engraving, created in 1856 by an anonymous American artist, beautifully captures the essence of working-class life during that era. The cigar seller's stoic expression reflects both determination and resilience as he navigates through the challenges faced by immigrants in a new land. His presence on this North American street is a testament to the diverse cultural fabric that has always defined New York City. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only an individual at work but also a glimpse into the broader narrative of immigration and entrepreneurship. The cigar seller represents countless others who sought opportunities in America's growing cities during this period. Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate historical moments like these through their vast collection of prints.
