HOBOS, c1920 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Itinerant Wanderers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captured by Granger, NYC / The Granger Collection takes us back to the early 1920s, offering a poignant glimpse into the lives of hobos during that era. In this evocative image, we witness a group of unidentified hobos walking along railroad tracks after being abruptly kicked off a train. The composition exudes an air of resilience and determination as these individuals carry their bindles - sacks containing all their worldly possessions - while traversing the rugged exterior landscape. Their faces tell stories of hardship and uncertainty but also reveal an unwavering spirit that kept them going despite constant challenges. During this period in American history, countless men took to riding freight trains in search of work or simply seeking adventure on the open road. However, they often faced harsh realities such as being forcibly removed from trains by authorities or enduring extreme weather conditions with limited resources. This photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by those who lived on society's fringes during this time. It invites us to reflect upon themes of homelessness, poverty, and wanderlust that continue to resonate today. Through its historical significance and artistic merit, "HOBOS" offers viewers an opportunity to connect with a forgotten chapter in America's past while honoring the indomitable human spirit that persists even amidst adversity.
