PHILADELPHIA - NEWSBOYS, 1910. A Glimpse into the Lives of Working-Class Children in Early 20th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a slice of history from June 1910 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the bustling streets of North Philadelphia, we see a determined seven-year-old newsboy selling newspapers to make ends meet. The image was skillfully captured by Lewis Hine, renowned for his powerful documentation of child labor during this era. The young boy stands out amidst the busy city backdrop with his knickerbocker pants and worn-out shoes. Despite his tender age, he carries himself with an air of maturity beyond his years as he navigates through the crowded street corners. A cigarette dangles precariously from his lips, symbolizing the harsh realities faced by children forced into adulthood too soon. This striking visual serves as a reminder that childhood innocence often succumbed to economic necessity during this time. As we peer closer at this snapshot frozen in time, we notice a mailbox adorned with faded advertisements on one side and stacks of newspapers on the other – evidence of commerce and communication intertwining within urban life. Lewis Hine's lens transports us back to an era when poverty was rampant among working-class families struggling to survive. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into their daily struggles while also acknowledging their resilience and determination against all odds.
