Contrasting Worlds - New York Waterfront, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the stark contrast between two worlds that coexisted on the bustling New York waterfront in 1891. On one side of the iconic 26th Street pier, we witness the opulence and glamour of smart society yachting parties. Dressed in their finest attire, men and women from the upper class enjoy a leisurely day out on their luxurious vessels, sipping wine and reveling in their privileged lives. However, as our gaze shifts to the other side of the pier, a different reality unfolds before us. Here lies a poignant scene depicting individuals who were less fortunate - criminals, sick individuals, and those facing indigence. They embark on ferries bound for Randalls Island, Harts Island, Wards Island, and Blackwells Island in the East River. These islands served as homes for institutions catering to those marginalized by society - prisons, hospitals for infectious diseases like tuberculosis or mental illnesses.
