More about the book
The book features a compelling collection of photographs that capture the harsh realities of New York's slums in the 1800s, as documented by Jacob Riis, a Danish émigré. Utilizing innovative flash photography, Riis created striking images that reveal the overcrowded and impoverished living conditions of the city's tenements. His journey from carpenter to influential journalist and social documentary photographer highlights the immigrant experience and the importance of visual storytelling in advocating for social reform.
