Jacob Riis was a Danish immigrant and journalist who documented immigrant life in New York City during the late 19th century, particularly the conditions of the urban poor. His notable work, How the Other Half Lives , published in 1890, combined compelling photographs with narratives to raise awareness and advocate for social reform. Riis's efforts played a crucial role in bringing improvements to housing laws and conditions for the impoverished in America.
