EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW YORK: RAG-PICKERS" takes us back to the bustling streets of 1867 City Hall Park in New York. The wood engraving captures a poignant moment as rag-pickers, who have been placed under arrest, gather together in this public space. The image reveals a slice of daily life during that era, showcasing the harsh realities faced by those living on the fringes of society. Men and women from all walks of life can be seen here - some with carts filled with rags, others accompanied by their loyal dogs. These individuals were known as collectors or rag-pickers, scraping together a meager existence by salvaging discarded materials. The scene is not without an air of tension; police officers stand watch over these arrested criminals while passersby observe curiously. The backdrop showcases the city's architecture and street scene, providing context for this arresting tableau. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of the social inequalities prevalent at that time - poverty-stricken slums contrasting sharply against the opulence often associated with New York City. It invites viewers to reflect upon how far we have come since then in terms of societal progress and compassion towards marginalized communities. Displayed through meticulous wood engraving techniques, this print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to an important chapter in American history – one that should never be forgotten nor repeated.
