This artwork explores the transformative effects of urbanization on social classes in the 19th and 20th centuries. It contrasts the lives of the emerging middle class, who owned factories, mines, and railroads, with the working class, who faced harsh working conditions in factories and mines, often including child labor. The piece highlights the stark differences in city conditions and the social stratification that resulted from rapid industrialization and urban growth, prompting a reflection on the societal implications of progress.
