EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "RIIS: MULBERRY BEND, c1888. The Mulberry Bend" captures the essence of late 19th-century urban life in America. Taken by renowned photographer Jacob Riis, this image offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Little Italy's Lower East Side. The scene unfolds on Mulberry Street, where tenement buildings line both sides of the street. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines amidst the chaotic cityscape. The narrow road is filled with pedestrians navigating through horse-drawn carriages and pushcarts selling various goods. Riis masterfully captures the raw energy and diversity that characterized this vibrant neighborhood at that time. Despite its crowded nature, there is a sense of community as people interact with one another on the busy street corner. The photograph serves as a historical document showcasing not only the physical landscape but also providing insight into social conditions prevalent during this era. It sheds light on issues such as overcrowding and poverty faced by residents living in these tenements. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history when cities were rapidly growing and transforming. Through Riis' lens, we witness an authentic slice of life in New York City's Lower East Side - a testament to his dedication as a pioneering photojournalist capturing stories within every frame he exposed to light.
