EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "RIIS: PUSHCART, C1910" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of early 20th century New York City. Taken by renowned photographer Jacob Riis in 1910, this image captures the essence of daily life during a time when pushcarts were an integral part of city commerce. In the foreground stands a vendor's pushcart, filled to the brim with various goods waiting to be sold. The silhouette of a man can be seen behind it, presumably the hardworking individual responsible for operating this mobile shop. Surrounding them is a vibrant street scene that epitomizes the energy and diversity found in Manhattan at that time. The photograph showcases not only the physical labor involved in pushing these carts through crowded streets but also highlights how they served as vital sources of income for many working-class individuals. It symbolizes their determination and resilience as they navigated through North NYC to make ends meet. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to turn-of-the-century America—a time characterized by rapid urbanization and economic growth. Through Riis' lens, we gain insight into an era where street vendors played an essential role in shaping the fabric of society. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our collective past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then. It encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and appreciation for progress made over generations.
