Pushcarts and canvas awnings line both sides of this sepia panorama, packing a busy street with shoppers, vendors and hanging goods. The scene fits the Lower East Side and similar immigrant neighborhoods of New York City around the turn of the twentieth century, when thousands of newly arrived families, many of them passing through Ellis Island just before, bought food, cloth and household goods from street stalls. The wide format lets you follow the crowd from one end of the block to the other, and the awnings and cart layouts offer a clear record of how these markets were arranged.
