Discover the extraordinary life of Jacob August Riis, a Danish-American social reformer, journalist, and photographer who used his talents to shine a light on the plight of impoverished New Yorkers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Riis's firsthand experience of poverty inspired him to become a police reporter, where he exposed the harsh realities of life in the slums. His groundbreaking work as a "muckraking" journalist and social documentary photographer contributed significantly to urban reform in America. Through his writings and photographs, Riis advocated for the implementation of "model tenements" and improved living conditions for the poor.

Jacob Riis (1849-1914) was the author of How the Other Half Lives (1890). This study of his life and work includes excerpts from Riis s diary, chronicling romance, poverty, temptation, and, after many false starts, employment as a writer and reformer. In the second half, Yochelson describes how Riis used photography to shock and influence his readers. The authors describe Riis s intellectual education and discuss the influence of How the Other Half Lives on urban history. It shows that Riis argued for charity rather than social justice; but the fact that he understood what it was to be homeless did humanize Riis s work, and that work has continued to inspire reformers. Yochelson focuses on how Riis came to obtain his now famous images, how they were manipulated for publication, and their influence on the young field of photography."

Since 1959 The John Harvard Library has been instrumental in publishing essential American writings in authoritative editions. Jacob RiisÕs pioneering work of photojournalism takes its title from RabelaisÕs Pantagruel: ÒOne half of the world knoweth not how the other half liveth; considering that no one has yet written of that Country.Ó An anatomy of New York CityÕs slums in the 1880s, it vividly brought home to its first readers through the powerful combination of text and images the squalid living conditions of Òthe other half,Ó who might well have inhabited another country. The book pricked the conscience of its readers and raised the tenement into a symbol of intransigent social difference. As Alan Trachtenberg makes clear in his introduction, it is a book that still speaks powerfully to us today of social injustice. Except for the modernization of spelling and punctuation, the John Harvard Library edition of How the Other Half Lives reproduces the text of the first published book version of November 1890. For this edition, prints have been made from RiisÕs original photographs now in the archives of the Museum of the City of New York. Endnotes aid the contemporary reader.
