EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the essence of tenement living in New York City between 1900 and 1910. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, depicts a narrow stairway and hallway in a tenement building. The wooden banisters and treads of the staircase are worn and weathered, a testament to the heavy foot traffic they have endured over the years. The landing at the top of the stairs is dimly lit, with a small window providing the only natural light. The tenement's interior is revealed through the partially open door on the left, offering a glimpse into the cramped living quarters. The hallway is lined with peeling wallpaper and the floor is covered in worn linoleum tiles. The atmosphere is one of simplicity and frugality, reflecting the living conditions of many urban dwellers during this period. This photograph, taken with a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a poignant reminder of the historic housing landscape of New York City and the United States during the early 20th century. The image is part of the collection of the Library of Congress and was taken by an unknown photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the housing conditions of the past and the evolution of urban living in America.
