Abstract
I cherish my copy of Sally Stein’s essay on the life and work of Jacob Riis. I also recognize that this is an absurd sentiment—and not just because I don’t own an “original.” My copy is a bad copy or what some might call a “poor” copy.1 It is a scan of a Xerox that I made by reducing, cutting, and pasting the tabloid-sized, newspaper-like journal pages into a format that would fit a copy machine. My copy is therefore not easy to read. Fortunately, my students don’t seem to mind. Maybe they get it? Maybe they get that another essay on Riis’s work wouldn’t do—that it is necessary to read this essay, which has never been anthologized and, until recently, was not available as a “good” image.
