EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "All my drinks 3 cents" captures an everyday scene near the Water Street Mission in 19th century New York City. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for the book Darkness and Daylight, or Lights and Shadows of New York Life by Mrs. Helen Campbell. It depicts a moment in the bustling city where poverty-stricken individuals from the working class gather around a street vendor's cart selling drinks for just three cents. The image beautifully portrays the stark contrasts between wealth and destitution that existed during this era. In the shadows of towering buildings, immigrants who recently arrived in America can be seen mingling with native-born Americans struggling to make ends meet. This scene offers a glimpse into life in the slums of Manhattan, highlighting both the hardships faced by those living on society's fringes and their resilience amidst adversity. The lithograph was created using engravings from photographs taken "from life" mostly by flash-light, lending it an air of authenticity that brings viewers closer to this historical moment. Through its detailed depiction of urban life at that time, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of America's past struggles with poverty and social inequality. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a different era - one filled with hardship but also marked by human connection and perseverance against all odds.
