Artist of this period seems to want to make a clean break with the past and present, something new. During the realism movement, Jacob Rii captured a photo he called "Children Sleeping, Mulberry Street". In the photo, there are three boys who seem to be asleep. In the 1890s, New York City had many wealthy people living in luxurious mansions and never had to worry about what one would be eating for dinner. However, there were people who were living on the streets of New York City, who were homeless and poor. These less fortunate people were fighting to survive. I believe this photo was staged, however, it still carries a lot of meaning. This photo is a real life issue that exists in the 1890s and still today.
