EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1891 captures the stark contrast between two worlds existing side by side on the 26th Street pier in New York City. On one side, we see a scene of opulence and privilege as smartly dressed members of high society enjoy yachting parties against the backdrop of the East River. The elegance and sophistication exuded by these individuals are evident in their attire and demeanor. However, on the other side of the pier, a different reality unfolds. Here, we witness a somber sight as criminals, sick individuals, and those facing indigence embark on boats bound for Randall's Island, Hart's Island, Wards Island, and Blackwell's Island. These islands served as places where society would confine those deemed undesirable or unfit to be part of mainstream life during that era. The wood engraving beautifully captures this sharp juxtaposition between wealth and poverty, showcasing both ends of society at turn-of-the-century America. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within bustling cities like New York City during its gilded age, there existed deep social divisions that were often hidden from view. Thure de Thulstrup's drawing skillfully brings to life this snapshot in time with intricate details that transport us back to an era when societal disparities were glaringly apparent along waterfronts like this one. This historical artwork offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our progress as a society while also acknowledging how far we still have to go in creating a more equitable world
