EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "TENEMENT LIFE, 1879" takes us back to the gritty streets of New York City in the late 19th century. The image depicts a scene from Mulberry Street, specifically Rag-Pickers Court, where daily life unfolds amidst tenement buildings and bustling activity. The wood engraving by W. A. Rogers beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant neighborhood. In the foreground, we see an Italian girl dancing with joy while surrounded by men and women going about their daily routines. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the diverse community that called Little Italy home during this era. As we explore further into the image, it becomes evident that not all is well within these crowded streets. A drunkard can be seen stumbling along, intoxicated by his surroundings. The presence of rag pickers highlights the poverty that plagued many residents at that time. Despite its challenges, there is a sense of resilience emanating from this street scene. Children play and wash lines hang overhead as people navigate their way through their lives with determination. Through this powerful engraving, we are transported to a different time and place - one filled with both hardship and hope. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then while also urging us to reflect on our shared history and continue striving for progress in our own communities today.
