EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Squalor In New York" takes us back to the year 1900, offering a glimpse into the harsh reality of tenement living in New York City. The image showcases a group of mid-adult men, dressed in uniforms, inspecting a dilapidated apartment. The scene is set with an untidy room filled with worn-out furniture - a table and chair that have seen better days. The men are engrossed in their task, looking closely at something on the table while one of them appears to be writing notes. Their serious expressions hint at the gravity of their mission. The state of disarray within this cramped space is evident; dust and dirt cover every surface, giving testament to the squalid conditions endured by its occupants. This snapshot offers a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many impoverished families during this era. As we observe this powerful photograph from FPG/Hulton Archive/Getty Images, it serves as both documentation and condemnation of societal neglect towards those living in such deplorable conditions. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then in terms of improving housing standards for all citizens
