In 1870 Danish immigrant Jacob Riis (1849-1914) arrived in New York. With 21 years old and no money he felt involved with the bad circumstances the people in the Lower East Side of New York had to live.
He became an important journalist and a social reformer and is now regarded as one of the founders of the documentary photography.
The Photography "Museum FOAM" in Amsterdam has an interesting exhibition "The Other Half" about him.
