EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BROOKLYN: GANGS, 1956" takes us back to a gritty era in New York City's history. The image captures a powerful moment on Pacific Street between Carlton Avenue & Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn, where policemen are seen frisking gang members. It is an arresting scene that reflects the reality of crime and law enforcement during this time. Photographed by Orlando Fernandez in 1956, this snapshot provides a glimpse into the mid-20th century American society. The composition beautifully portrays the tension between authority figures and rebellious youth as they clash on the streets of Prospect Heights. The teenagers being frisked remain unidentified, their faces hidden from view. This anonymity adds to the intrigue surrounding this photograph, leaving us wondering about their stories and motivations for being involved with gangs. Through its stark contrast and impeccable detailing, this Granger Art on Demand print transports viewers to a different era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of urban development and crime prevention strategies. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection, it prompts reflection on societal issues such as poverty, inequality, and teenage delinquency that plagued Brooklyn at that time.
