Description Colorized photo from 1912, MarchOriginal title: Row of tenements from 260 to 268 Elizabeth StPhotographer: Lewis Wickes HineLocation: 260 Elizabeth St, Little Italy, NYIn the 1900's, millions of New Yorkers lived in tenement apartments. They were often single family buildings, that were cheaply converted to tiny multi-family units so they could stuff as many people as possible inside of them.Life was rough, health was poor and it was hard to make ends meet. Families had to work together and either make things to sell, or make things other stores could sell. They were paid by the piece so everyone had to work, the sick, kids etc. Some would make necklaces, others might make clothes, as shown in this picture, as they finish them up. Lewis Hines, a photographer that was assigned to photograph tenement buildings, and document them. He wanted to show how kids had to do all sorts of labor with little pay and no regards to safety. If it wasn't for him and this project, we may have never have known about buildings like these. More so they created child labor laws to prevent kids from having to work so young or getting hurt.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
