EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the harsh reality faced by Italian immigrants in New York City during the 1870s. In this hand-colored woodcut illustration, we see an Italian immigrant man and a young boy scavenging for waste scraps to make soup. The look of determination on their faces speaks volumes about the hardships they endured in their pursuit of a better life.
The crowded streets of New York City serve as a backdrop to this scene, highlighting the bustling urban environment that these immigrants found themselves in. Despite facing poverty and hardship, they are resilient and resourceful, making the most out of what little they have.
The contrast between the innocence of youth and the weight of responsibility is striking in this image. The young boy's presence serves as a reminder of how even children were forced to contribute to their family's survival during this time.
This engraving colorisee from the 19th century serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by immigrants seeking refuge and opportunity in America. It is a testament to their resilience, strength, and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity.
