EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the vibrant streets of Harlem in 1938. The image captures a slice of daily life as we see an African American peanut seller stationed on Lenox Avenue and 133rd Street, amidst the bustling cityscape of New York City. The man stands proudly behind his cart, adorned with sacks filled with freshly roasted peanuts, ready to satisfy the cravings of passersby. The lens of photographer Jack Allison beautifully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details that make up this scene. From the worn-out buildings lining the street to the vintage cars parked along the curb, every element contributes to painting a vivid picture of early 20th century Harlem. This photograph not only showcases a vendor going about his business but also serves as a testament to resilience and entrepreneurship within African American communities during that era. It symbolizes their contribution to shaping New York City's cultural fabric.
