EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to 1917 in Oklahoma City. The image showcases young Ernest Chester, a five-year-old newsboy diligently at work on the bustling streets of this Southwestern city. Dressed in a worn cap and holding tightly onto his stack of newspapers, Ernest stands proudly on the curb as he peddles his wares to passersby. His youthful face carries an air of determination beyond his years, reflecting the harsh reality that child labor was all too common during this time. Lewis Hine's expert lens skillfully captures both the innocence and resilience embodied by young Ernest. The sepia tones lend a nostalgic quality to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only an individual boy but also glimpse into a larger working-class community striving for survival amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in terms of protecting children's rights and eradicating exploitative practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, let us reflect upon our progress while honoring those who fought tirelessly for social justice throughout history.
