EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: NEWSBOYS, 1912" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Washington, D. C. in April of that year. The image captures a poignant moment as we see a determined six-year-old newsboy selling newspapers after attending school in the morning. Photographed by Lewis Hine, renowned for his powerful documentation of child labor during this era, this portrait sheds light on the harsh realities faced by young workers at the turn of the century. The sepia-toned print showcases the innocence and resilience embodied by this young boy against a backdrop of urban commerce. Dressed in knickers and wearing a tie, he stands proudly on the sidewalk amidst other vendors and street scenes. His presence reflects not only his own struggle but also represents countless children who were forced into early work due to economic circumstances. The winter air is palpable as we observe him diligently fulfilling his duties as a newspaper seller. This image serves as an important reminder of the working class's struggles during this time period and highlights their contribution to society despite their tender age. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, it prompts us to reflect on how far our society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still much progress to be made in ensuring fair treatment for all individuals regardless of age or background.
