EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Harlem in 1938. The image showcases a slice of daily life, capturing the essence of an early New York City. On Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street, we see an African American shave ice seller going about his business with a cart full of icy treats. The scene is filled with energy as people pass by, their faces reflecting curiosity and perhaps anticipation for a refreshing treat on a hot day. A young girl stands beside the vendor, her eyes fixed on something beyond our view. Is she eagerly awaiting her turn or simply captivated by the vibrant atmosphere surrounding her? Photographed by Jack Allison in 1938, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry that was Harlem at that time. It reminds us of the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit found within communities like these. The image captures more than just street life; it encapsulates an era marked by struggle and triumphs for African Americans in America's history. Through this lens, we are transported to another time - one where street vendors were integral parts of neighborhood life. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical gem from their collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance as a window into New York City's past.
