A young Rebecca Lepkoff, camera in hand, navigated the streets of the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1930s and 1940s capturing the lives and times of a vibrant, close-knit, and functional multiethnic community. Available now in a paperback edition,Life on the Lower East Side, the first monograph of Lepkoff's work, highlights the lost neighborhood between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, from the Bowery to the East River. With more than 170 beautifully reproduced duotone photographs, the book reveals the dynamic community of Italians, Irish, Jews, Greeks, Spaniards, Chinese, Puerto Ricans, and African Americans. Lepkoff's images uncover a forgotten time and place and reveal how the Lower East Side has both stayed the same and changed forever. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Who is she?
The photograph was taken in the 1940s and can be found on page 167 of Life on the Lower East Side, 1937 - 1950 a book of photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff. She was one of the many great photographers to come out of the New York Photo League (also look at the following links for this important but largely forgotten organization -- NYPL, Telefonica Exhibit, Columbus Museum, This Was the Photo League). The photograph of the girl was probably taken in the area between the two-bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, a group of lost streets in lower Manhattan -- Madison, Monroe, Oak, James, Roosevelt, and Oliver Streets -- all of which were largely demolished and replaced by the ugly buildings of the Al Smith housing projects.
