EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant glimpse into the lives of the "other half" of New York City in the early 20th century. Taken by an American photographer, this candid image showcases a large family living in poverty. In this scene, we see a crowded room with a wash tub at its center. The family members are huddled together, surrounded by several animals including bears. The presence of these wildlife creatures adds an intriguing element to the composition, perhaps symbolizing their struggle for survival amidst harsh conditions. The photographer's lens exposes not only the physical hardships faced by this family but also hints at their health issues. A teddy bear nurse attends to one of the children who suffers from rheumatism while physicians examine another child for adenoid growths. This historical photograph offers us a window into an era long gone, shedding light on societal disparities and challenges faced by marginalized communities in New York City during that time period. It serves as a reminder that behind every city's glitz and glamour lies hidden stories of resilience and struggle. Displayed as part of Leslie-Judge Company's publication "Around the World with a Camera" this image invites viewers to contemplate how different segments of society coexist within urban landscapes like New York City.
