EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a group of newsboys standing outside Hales Fancy Bazaar on the bustling corner of Twyford Avenue and Newcomen Road in Stamshaw, Portsmouth. The year is 1907, and these young boys are hard at work selling newspapers to passersby, their eager faces illuminated by the soft glow of the gas lamps lining the street.
The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm, transporting us back to a simpler era when news was delivered by hand rather than through digital screens. The boys' tattered clothing and worn-out shoes speak volumes about the hardships they faced as they navigated the streets in search of customers willing to purchase their wares.
As we gaze upon this image from The Andrew Jenkins Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we can't help but marvel at the resilience and determination etched into the faces of these young entrepreneurs. Theirs is a story of grit and perseverance, embodying the spirit of an era defined by hard work and dedication.
In today's fast-paced world, where news is consumed at lightning speed and technology reigns supreme, it's important to pause and reflect on moments like these that remind us of our shared history and humanity. This print serves as a poignant reminder that behind every headline lies a human story waiting to be told.
