They showed the Slum life of New York. Their effects are a sickening slap in the face, these places are vile, disgusting, and just plain sad, with these pictures, there is no hiding what the slums are, what goes on in them, etc.

The pictures greatly show the reality of the living conditions the New York Slums had to go through during the late 1800's and the pictures he captured defined the difference between lower and upper class living conditions.

Jacob Rii's photos show the poverty that Americans faced in the 1800's and kind of drew attention to what they had to go through.
