During the 1890s many people in upper- and middle-class society
were unaware of the dangerous conditions in the slums among poor
immigrants. Jacob Riis, a Danish immigrant who himself could not
originally find much work, hoped to expose the squalor of the
19th-century Lower East Side of Manhattan. After a successful
career as a police reporter, he decided to publish a photojournal
documenting these conditions using graphic descriptions, sketches,
photographs, and statistics. Riis blamed the apathy of the monied
class for the condition of the New York slums, and assumed that as
people were made more aware of these conditions they would be
motivated to help eradicate them.
