EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a poignant moment in the bustling streets of early 20th century New York City. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, it showcases the Eisenberg Brothers, Benjamin and John, aged 8 and 10 respectively, as they sell Jewish newspapers on Lewis Street around 1910-13. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see two young boys diligently carrying out their daily tasks. Benjamin wears a small badge indicating his affiliation with the newspaper while John stands beside him without one. The image evokes a sense of innocence mixed with responsibility as they navigate through the crowded cityscape. The photograph not only documents these brothers' lives but also provides insight into the vibrant cultural tapestry that was East Broadway in Manhattan during that era. It serves as a reminder of the diverse communities that thrived within New York City's melting pot. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this image offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. It is a testament to Hine's skillful eye for capturing human stories and preserving them for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of how much has changed over time yet also how certain aspects remain timeless – such as youthful determination and hard work etched onto young faces like those of Benjamin and John Eisenberg.
