EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the New York City Draft Riots of 1863. The image showcases a broadside, or handbill, that was circulated during the second day of the riots on July 14th. The broadside urgently calls upon merchants and clerks to defend their shops amidst the chaos and violence engulfing the city. The composition of this photograph is striking, with its focus solely on the text-filled broadside against a plain background. The typography itself speaks volumes about the urgency and desperation felt by those affected by these riots. It serves as both a warning and rallying cry for individuals who were at risk of having their livelihoods destroyed through looting. The New York City Draft Riots were sparked by anger over conscription into the Union Army during the Civil War. This unrest primarily occurred in working-class neighborhoods where residents feared losing jobs to newly arrived immigrants who were exempt from military service. This print provides an invaluable glimpse into this tumultuous period in American history, capturing not only an important artifact but also reflecting broader themes such as social tensions between different groups within society. Overall, this powerful image invites viewers to delve deeper into understanding one of America's darkest moments while reminding us of our shared past and how it continues to shape our present-day society.
