DELIVERY BOY, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Life of Harvey Nailling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing Harvey Nailling, a young delivery boy who toils tirelessly for Kutterer Printing Co. in St. Louis, Missouri. Taken by Lewis Hine in May 1910, this image offers a window into the challenges faced by working-class children during the turn of the century. With his cap tilted slightly and wearing knickers and a necktie, Harvey stands against an urban backdrop that reflects both the bustling city life and its hardships. The worn-out expression on his face hints at the toll that long hours take on such young shoulders. The photograph's composition draws attention to Harvey's pushcart as he navigates through South Street—a symbol of his dedication and determination despite meager resources. It serves as a reminder of child labor prevalent during this era when economic circumstances forced many youngsters into adult responsibilities prematurely. Lewis Hine's lens not only freezes this moment but also sheds light on societal issues surrounding poverty and exploitation. Through this powerful image, we are compelled to reflect upon how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for better working conditions for future generations. As we gaze at "DELIVERY BOY, 1910" let us remember Harvey Nailling—his resilience echoing through time—and honor all those whose struggles shaped our present-day society with their unwavering spirit.
