EDITORS COMMENTS
EVANS: NEW YORK CITY, 1938. A glimpse into the bustling streets of Manhattan during the early years of America's vibrant metropolis. This photograph by Walker Evans transports us back to a time when newspapers were at the heart of daily life. The image captures a moment on 61st Street, somewhere between 1st and 3rd Avenue, where stacks of newspapers are proudly displayed for sale. The scene is alive with activity as pedestrians pass by, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation for the latest news headlines. The storefronts lining the street exude an old-world charm, while the bold text on each newspaper catches our attention. Evans masterfully captures not only the exterior of this busy street but also offers us a glimpse into a world that relied heavily on print media for information and entertainment. Each paper tells its own story - from local news to national events - all waiting to be discovered by eager readers. This iconic photograph serves as a reminder of how newspapers once played an integral role in shaping public opinion and disseminating information in New York City. It stands as a testament to both Walker Evans' artistic talent and his ability to capture slices of everyday life that continue to resonate with viewers today.
