EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment in time during one of New York City's most tumultuous periods - the Great Garbage Strike of November 1911. This striking photograph, taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain for the Bain News Service, reveals the chaos that gripped Manhattan's streets as sanitation workers refused to collect waste.
In this powerful image, a horse-drawn garbage wagon stands idle in front of towering buildings on New York City's bustling streets. The cart is empty except for its load dumped carelessly onto the pavement - a stark reminder of the city's struggle with urban decay and neglect. Amidst the backdrop of early 20th century American life, this photograph poignantly captures the determination and resilience of workers fighting for their rights.
As part of Bain News Service's extensive archive, this print offers a unique glimpse into New York City's history during an era marked by rapid growth, social change, and industrial action. It is a testament to the enduring power of photography in preserving our collective heritage.
