EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Immigrant Runners, 1858. Runners of the Olden Time" takes us back to a significant era in New York City's history. This wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1858, sheds light on the exploitation faced by newly arrived immigrants during that time. In this intriguing image, we see a group of men who were known as immigrant runners. Dressed in mid-19th century attire with plaid patterns and smoking cigars, they exude an air of authority and cunningness. However, behind their seemingly casual demeanor lies a darker truth - these men would exploit vulnerable immigrants fresh off the boat. The engraving captures the essence of criminal activity prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by those seeking better lives in America but falling prey to unscrupulous individuals looking to take advantage of their naivety. Through this historical artifact preserved by Granger Art on Demand, we are transported into an era where immigration was both hopeful and treacherous. The image invites contemplation about how far society has come since then while also serving as a cautionary tale against exploitation and injustice that still persists today.
