‘An extreme example of the poorer class of tenement house. Clothes in tatters, laundry in shreds, men idling about, children running wild, mothers beating their children, a obvious drunk - and yet - a man helping the drunk, two little children dancing merrily, a woman with a broom who appears to be cleaning up, and the industrious rag pickers carrying their wares.’ http://www.maggieblanck.com/NewYork/Life.html
