Description Wiki
Studies among the Tenements of New York (1890) is an early publication of photojournalism by Jacob Riis, documenting squalid living conditions in New York City slums in the 1880s. The photographs served as a basis for future "muckraking" journalism by exposing the slums to New York Citys upper and middle classes. They inspired many reforms of working-class housing, both immediately after publication as well as making a lasting impact in todays society

ABOUT JABOB RISS AND HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES Poetically detailing the lives of the impoverished of New York Citys tenement slums at the end of the 19th century, How the Other Half Lives not only brought Riis wide acclaim but also sparked vast social reform at the turn of the twentieth century. It was also one of the first books to use photographs instead of engraved illustrations, which were the standard for images in all forms of print at the time. Jacob Riis is the true Grandfather of Photojournalism, proclaims bestselling author Lorenzo Dom nguez. Although film publicists have purported that Henri Cartier-Bresson deserves the title, he was not born until 1908, 18 years after Riis published How the Other Half Lives, a best seller that helped establish photojournalism as a true profession. In addition to pioneering socio-documentary photography, Riis was also a notable muckraker, a leader of social reform at the advent of the Progressive Era and a personal friend of President Teddy Roosevelt, who wrote in his 1913 autobiography my whole life was influenced by my long association with Jacob Riis, whom I am tempted to call the best American I ever knew. Also an award-winning New York City street photographer, Dom nguez recently restored, edited and published a new edition of this American classic, which is now available for Kindles, iPads and most smartphones. ABOUT THE EDITOR Lorenzo Dom nguez is a best-selling author, writer and an award-winning street photographer. He has written numerous books, interviews and articles about fine art and photography.
