{"product_id":"the-ghetto","title":"Vintage NYC Art Print — 1920s Lower East Side Market — New York Wall Decor","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe street that fed a city and built a neighborhood.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the Lower East Side in 1927 — the most densely populated neighborhood in the world at the turn of the century, still alive with the immigrant energy that defined it. Tony Sarg captures it at full market hours: pushcart vendors selling seedless grapes for ten cents, fruit stalls overflowing onto the sidewalk, the pharmacy and the sausage shop and the chocolate soda fountain all competing for the same narrow stretch of street. A barrel rolls loose. A dog darts through the crowd. A child clutches a red balloon.\u003cbr\u003eThis was the world the Lower East Side's immigrants built — Eastern European Jews, Italians, and a dozen other communities arriving with almost nothing and turning a few blocks of lower Manhattan into one of the most remarkable urban ecosystems in American history.\u003cbr\u003eThe pushcarts are gone. The tenements are mostly gone. The pharmacy and the soda fountain are long gone. But the neighborhood is still there, still dense and still alive, still carrying the memory of what Sarg drew here in 1927.\u003cbr\u003eThis is where a significant portion of American Jewish, Italian, and Eastern European immigrant families have roots. If your family came through New York in the early twentieth century, there is a real chance someone you're descended from walked this exact street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this print:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReproduced from Tony Sarg's New York (1927), a limited folio of 24 color lithographs capturing the city at the height of the Jazz Age. Sarg — best known today as the father of modern puppetry and the creator of the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon floats — produced these illustrations as a love letter to a city that never stood still.\u003cbr\u003eEach print is professionally produced on archival quality paper, faithful to the warmth and linework of the original lithograph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**POSTER ONLY FRAMES NOT INCLUDED**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComes in 2 sizes, 12x16 and 18x24.
