Vintage Poster – Bandits' Roost, 59 1/2 Mulberry Street, New York (188

Bandits' Roost, 59 1/2 Mulberry Street is a black and white photograph produced by Danish-American photojournalist and social reformer Jacob Riis in 1888. The photograph was possibly not taken by Riis but instead by one of his assistant photographers, Henry G. Piffard or Richard Hoe Lawrence. It was first published in the photographic book How the Other Half Lives, in 1889, which aimed to document the social conditions of the poorest people of New York. This photograph was taken in "The Bend," a dangerous and poor alley in Mulberry Street, in New York, that no longer exists. The Bend was the core of the "city tenement slums", known for its crime ridden population of mostly Italian origin. Two men at the right appearing to guard the entrance of the alley, the second from the right holding a piece of lumber, possibly as a club.
