EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW YORK: POVERTY, 1887. A Glimpse into the Struggles of Daily Life in Lower East Side". This poignant print captures the harsh reality of poverty-stricken New York City in 1887. In an alley off Mulberry Street, amidst a scorching hot summer day, we witness a scene that reflects the hardships faced by families living in tenements during this era. Engraved after a sketch by the Board of Health, this image transports us to late 19th-century Manhattan. The engraving portrays a woman and her children standing barefoot on the worn-out pavement, their ragged clothes reflecting their destitution. The oppressive heat forces them to seek solace under what little shade they can find. The composition reveals not only physical deprivation but also emotional distress as unhappiness is etched across their faces. These little ones are robbed of their carefree childhoods as they navigate through life's challenges at such tender ages. Located in Little Italy's bustling neighborhood, where daily struggles were commonplace, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the lives led by those residing here. It serves as a stark reminder of how poverty permeated every aspect of existence for countless families during that time. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical engraving from its collection with utmost respect for its significance and cultural value. Let it serve as an enduring testament to resilience and inspire gratitude for progress made since then.
