EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Jacob Riis, a renowned American journalist and reformer, in the early 1890s. Born in Denmark but making his mark on American society, Riis dedicated himself to shedding light on the harsh living conditions of impoverished communities. In this image, he is seen photographing a vibrant vegetable stand nestled within the bustling Mulberry Street Bend in New York City. Riis's camera lens becomes an instrument of social change as he documents daily life in this neighborhood known as Little Italy. The street scene unfolds before him; customers engage with vendors while others navigate through the crowded sidewalks. This snapshot encapsulates both the charm and challenges faced by urban dwellers during this late turn-of-the-century era. As a pioneer of investigative journalism and documentary photography, Riis used his work to expose societal inequalities and advocate for reforms that would improve living conditions for those less fortunate. His photographs became powerful tools for raising awareness about poverty and inspiring change. In this particular image, we witness Riis fully immersed in his craft - capturing moments frozen in time that tell stories of resilience amidst adversity. Through his lens, we are transported back to a bygone era where everyday scenes like these were transformed into catalysts for social progress.
