EDITORS COMMENTS
DELAWARE: NEWSGIRLS, 1910. A poignant glimpse into the lives of young girls working as newspaper vendors on the streets of Wilmington, Delaware. This photograph by Lewis Hine captures a moment frozen in time during May 1910. These determined adolescents stand proudly, dressed in their modest sweaters and dresses, embodying the resilience and strength required to navigate the challenges of early 20th-century America. Lewis Hine's lens sheds light on the harsh realities faced by these unidentified newsgirls who were thrust into a world where child labor was prevalent. Their presence on this sepia-toned street portrait serves as a stark reminder of poverty and economic struggle that plagued many North American cities at the turn of the century. The image showcases not only their role as workers but also hints at their potential for growth and empowerment through commerce. With newspapers clutched tightly in hand, they become agents of information dissemination within their community. This powerful print from The Granger Collection evokes empathy for these young workers while highlighting both their vulnerability and determination. It stands as an enduring testament to an era when childhood innocence often collided with adult responsibilities.
