EDITORS COMMENTS
Witham: Baxter St. c1885 captures the gritty reality of life in the Lower East Side slums of New York City during the late 19th century. This watercolor print by Charles W. Witham offers a glimpse into daily life on Baxter Street, showcasing the bustling cityscape and its inhabitants. In this scene, men can be seen going about their business amidst tenement buildings and trash-filled streets. The dilapidated exteriors serve as a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions endured by those residing in this impoverished neighborhood. A clothesline stretches across one building, indicating that even in these dire circumstances, people found ways to carry out their daily routines. A ragpicker is also depicted, highlighting how individuals made a living by collecting discarded items from the streets. Witham's use of watercolors adds depth and texture to his portrayal of this urban landscape. The muted tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while capturing the essence of a time long gone. This print from Granger Art on Demand provides an intriguing historical document that sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of New York City's past. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and perseverance displayed by those who called these slums home.
