New York City in 1891 was a crowded port of about a million and a half people on Manhattan island, with Brooklyn still a separate city across the East River. The Brooklyn Bridge, finished in 1883, carried foot traffic and trolleys between the two shores, while steam-powered elevated railways rattled above Second, Third, Sixth, and Ninth Avenues. Garment shops, cigar factories, printing houses, and the wharves along the rivers employed large numbers of immigrants, many of whom lived in dense tenement blocks on the Lower East Side. Central Park, laid out in the 1850s and 1860s, offered the city's wealthier residents a green escape from the commercial streets below.
