EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Walker Evans in 1938, captures a poignant moment on 61st Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues in New York City. In the midst of the Great Depression, a tenant is seen moving from their apartment using a horse-drawn wagon. The image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals during this challenging period in American history. The photo provides a glimpse into the architectural landscape of the time, with rows of buildings forming an imposing backdrop. The dilapidated facade serves as a stark reminder of economic hardship that plagued many families during this era. As we observe this still image, it becomes evident that housing was not only scarce but also unaffordable for some. Evans' composition skillfully captures both urban and rural elements within one frame. While situated amidst bustling city streets, the presence of horses and carriages harkens back to simpler times when such modes of transportation were commonplace. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as a testament to Evans' ability to document social realities through his lens. It serves as an important historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating our present circumstances. As we gaze at this powerful image captured nearly a century ago, let us remember those who endured hardships during the Great Depression and honor their strength in navigating adversity with determination and hope for brighter days ahead.
