EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us back in time to Hester Street in New York City's Lower East Side, a place historically synonymous with Ashkenazi Jewish immigrant culture. The image, part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection in the Boswell archive, showcases the bustling street scene with a focus on Hester Street's distinctive lantern-lit storefronts. The Ashkenazi Jews, primarily from Eastern Europe, began arriving in large numbers in the late 19th century, settling in the densely populated tenements of the Lower East Side. Hester Street, in particular, became a hub of Jewish life, with synagogues, schools, and businesses catering to the community's needs. The photograph captures the vibrant energy of this historic neighborhood, with people of all ages and backgrounds going about their daily lives. Horse-drawn carts and wagons share the narrow street with pedestrians, while the warm glow of the lanterns illuminates the scene, creating a sense of community and belonging. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Hester Street and the Lower East Side, a place that continues to be celebrated for its role in shaping the diverse fabric of New York City and American society as a whole.
