Located in New York City, New York, the second officially established police department in the United States was the New York Police Department. This police department, like all of the police departments in the United States to some extent, was heavily influenced by the London Metropolitan Police.  It was established in 1844, and it was organized similarly to the military in its command structure like the London Metropolitan Police.

Photojournalists are all over the world. For this project, The image I used as an example was shot in Nipomo, California. The Photographer's studio and primary location were San Francisco California. This image was captured in 1936 and Americans were still suffering from effects of the stock market crash of 1929. This was an important period during American history because this leads to more government regulation and helped rebuild the America we live in today. This image humanized the effects of the stock market crash.

The 19^th century saw a myriad of events for the extended rights of women across the United States. The first Women’s Rights Convention being held at Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. However, the Convention taking place at Akron, Ohio in 1851 was significant as Ohio was in a state of reform and the objective of this Convention was to contend for the Suffrage rights of Women in the state of Ohio and in US overall. This conference petitioned the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1850-1851 to grant women the right to vote.

Jean Desire Gustave Courbet, famously known as Courbet, was born on June 10, 1910, in Ornans, Doubs, France.

Courbet was born into a relatively wealthy family in a relatively small town in France but close to the Swiss border. It had about three thousand people around the Realism period. A population where everyone knows each other, so long-standing ties. Perception and aesthetics come to play here because Courbet sees Ornan as a place with a great sense of community and portrayed in his painting, “The Burial at Ornans.”
