Examine Ris’s 1890 photograph, “The Poverty and Gloom of New York Streets,” and
Hine’s 1905 photograph, “Looking for Lost Baggage, Ellis Island.” Do you agree with the analysis in the
foregoing paragraph contrasting the styles of these two photographers (if not, why not?)? Now consider
two 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 in
California, and a photograph of Indian children on a New Mexico reservation. These latter two
photographs are drawn from Chapter 25 of your textbook. Is the framework developed for
understanding the difference between Riis and Hine at the turn of the 20th century useful for
understanding the contrasting styles of these two 1930s photographs? Write a 250- to 400-word essay
answering the two questions raised in this paragraph. Then answer this third question: Identify the
strengths and weaknesses first of Riis’s and then of Hine’s approach to photographing the poor.
