EDITORS COMMENTS
EVANS: NEW YORK CITY, 1938 captures the essence of childhood joy and innocence on 61st Street in Manhattan. In this photograph by Walker Evans, we are transported back to a simpler time when children found happiness in the simplest of games. The image showcases a group of American boys and girls engrossed in their playtime activities. Their clothing reflects the era, with young boys wearing suspenders and caps while the girls don dresses and bows. One boy is seen sitting on the stoop, holding a doll close to his heart, showcasing tenderness amidst youthful energy. The streets of New York City serve as their playground, where friendships are formed through shared laughter and camaraderie. The North East neighborhood provides an idyllic backdrop for these carefree moments that will forever be etched in their memories. Walker Evans' keen eye for detail allows us to witness this slice of history frozen in time. This photograph was taken during Evans' collaboration with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document life during the Great Depression era. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print from its collection - a testament to both Evans' artistic prowess and Granger's commitment to preserving historical treasures. Let this image transport you back to an early chapter of New York City's vibrant past.
