This edition of How the Other Half Lives remains as faithful as possible to the original famed 1890 photo-text addressing the problems of tenement housing, immigration, and urban life and work at the beginning of the Progressive era created by Jacob Riis's.

From the Back Cover:
In How The Other Half Lives New Yorkers read with horror that three-quarters of the residents of their city were housed in tenements and that in those tenements rents were substantially higher than in better sections of the city. In his book Riis gave a full and detailed picture of what life in those slums was like, how the slums were created, how and why they remained as they were, who was forced to live there, and offered suggestions for easing the lot of the poor.
