Pictures come from "How the Other Half Lives, Studies among the Tenements of New York" 1890 and "The Children of the Poor" 1892 by Jakob Riis.
Riis emigrated from Denmark to the USA in 1870. He became a crime reporter, then used documentary photography to fight against extreme poverty, slums, and violence.
