Examine Ris’s 1890 photograph, “The Poverty and Gloom of New York Streets,” andHine’s 1905 photograph, “Looking for Lost Baggage, Ellis Island.” Do you agree with the analysis in theforegoing paragraph contrasting the styles of these two photographers (if not, why not?)? Now considertwo additional photographs that were taken 30 to 40 years later, during the Great Depression (1929-1939), by other photographers: a photograph of a Mexican refugee agricultural family looking for work inCalifornia, and a photograph of Indian children on a New Mexico reservation. These latter twophotographs are drawn from Chapter 25 of your textbook. Is the framework developed forunderstanding the difference between Riis and Hine at the turn of the 20th century useful forunderstanding the contrasting styles of these two 1930s photographs? Write a 250- to 400-word essayanswering the two questions raised in this paragraph. Then answer this third question: Identify thestrengths and weaknesses first of Riis’s and then of Hine’s approach to photographing the poor.
