EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Cliff Dwellers of New York, 1881" takes us back to the heart of 19th-century America. Created by Mary Nimmo Moran, a talented artist known for her etchings and scotch stone tone prints, this image beautifully captures the concept of poverty in a bustling metropolis. In this striking scene, we are transported to a cliffside location in New York State. The rugged cliffs serve as an unlikely home for a cluster of shacks that house the city's less fortunate residents. The etching technique used by Moran adds depth and texture to the buildings perched precariously on the edge of these geographical features. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), our minds wander through time, contemplating the hardships faced by those who called these humble dwellings their homes. Through Nimmo's lens, we catch a glimpse into the lives lived within these walls – lives marked by struggle and resilience. "The Cliff Dwellers of New York" serves as both a reminder and testament to the enduring spirit found even amidst challenging circumstances. It invites us to reflect on our own country's history while acknowledging that poverty knows no boundaries or borders. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you explore America's past through Mary Nimmo Moran's artistic lens at The Met.
