"Darkness and Daylight, Or, Lights and Shadows of New York Life" offers a vivid pictorial record of late 19th-century New York City through the lens of gospel, temperance, mission, and rescue work. Co-authored by Thomas Wallace Knox, Helen Campbell, and Thomas Byrnes, this book provides a unique woman's perspective on the city's stark contrasts: the opulence and progress juxtaposed with the pervasive poverty and social ills.
Focusing on the efforts of individuals and organizations dedicated to uplifting the downtrodden, the book explores temperance movements, urban missions, and other social reforms. Through compelling narratives and evocative imagery, "Darkness and Daylight" paints a portrait of a city grappling with rapid change and profound inequality, while also highlighting the tireless work of those striving to bring light into the darkest corners of New York life.
