EDITORS COMMENTS
RIIS: BANDITS ROOST, 1887 captures the gritty reality of late 19th century New York City. In this powerful photograph taken by Jacob Riis, we are transported to an alley at 59 Mulberry Street, where danger lurks in every corner. The image portrays a street scene that is both haunting and captivating. The worn-out buildings and dimly lit surroundings paint a picture of urban decay and poverty. Men dressed in bowler hats stand together, their expressions reflecting the harshness of their lives in this North neighborhood tenement. This notorious area became known as 'Bandits Roost, ' earning its name due to the criminal activities that took place within these narrow alleys. Riis's lens exposes the stark contrast between American prosperity and the struggles faced by those living on the fringes of society. Through his photography, he aimed to shed light on social issues and advocate for change. This historic print serves as a reminder of our city's past and prompts us to reflect upon how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to Riis's dedication in capturing the truth behind these forgotten streets.
