Unknown, 1827 - The Five Points - fine art print

(© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Five Points was a slum on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Declared in 1858 in the New York Herald a “nest of drunkenness, roguery, debauchery, vice, and pestilence,” the neighborhood was home to a combustible mix of New York’s poorest citizens: recently arrived (predominantly Irish) immigrants, unskilled laborers, and African Americans. Highlighting the district’s renowned chaos and vulgarity, the figures in the painting fight, flirt, and generally misbehave amid dilapidated buildings. Although the artist has not been identified, this image is well known, having been reproduced as a lithograph in a 1855 guide to New York City.

The Five Points was made by Unknown. The artwork can be viewed in in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's art collection.

Choose your material

In the dropdown selection next to the article you can pick your individual material and size. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• Printed poster on canvas material: The poster print is a UV printed sheet of cotton canvas with a slight surface finish, that resembles the actual artwork. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the work of art, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a real painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed from a UV direct printing machine. A canvas creates a special look of three-dimensionality. A printed canvas of this work of art will let you turn your personal fine art print into a large size work of art like you would see in a gallery. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
• Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, often labelled as a print on plexiglass, will turn the original work of art into gorgeous home decoration and is a good alternative option to aluminium or canvas fine art prints. Your favorite artwork will be printed thanks to the help of modern UV print technology. This creates intense, stunning color shades. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts and also smaller image details will be more recognizeable due to the very subtle gradation in the picture.
• Metal (aluminium dibond print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an impressive depth. For your Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print your selected artpiece on the surface of the white-primed aluminum.
