EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHICAGO: TENEMENT, 1910" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of an Italian immigrant family residing in a tenement home in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in 1910, beautifully captures the essence of this era. In the image, we see a group portrait of the family seated inside their humble abode. The worn-out door and dirt-covered floor reflect the poverty that many immigrants faced during this period. A mother sits with her infant on her lap while two young girls and a boy stand beside her. Their expressions reveal both resilience and hope despite their challenging circumstances. The details within this photograph are striking - from the children's disheveled appearance to their mother's weary yet determined gaze. It serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by countless families who sought better opportunities in America. Lewis Hine's skillful composition allows us to connect with these individuals on a personal level, transcending time and space. This particular print is part of the Carousel Collection curated by Wickes Art Studio. As we observe this powerful image from over a century ago, it prompts us to reflect upon our own history as well as appreciate how far society has progressed since then.
