Jacob Riis, quoted in Maren Stange, Symbols of Ideal Life: Social Documentary
Photography in America, 1890-1950, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1989, p.16
“The beauty of looking into these places without actually being present there is that the excursionist is spared the vulgar sounds and odious scents and repulsive exhibitions attendant upon such a personal examination.”
“. . . You can unmistakably discern a Jew by the walk, the flat foot, the turning out of the palm of the hand. . . You can tell an artist by the way he uses a thumb in place of the forefinger in describing a scene or picture. You can detect a convict by his clasped hands . . .”
William Glackens
