EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MASSACHUSETTS: GANG, c1916" takes us back to the early 20th century in Springfield, Massachusetts. The image captures a street gang of adolescent boys gathered on the corner of Margaret and Water Streets. Their carefree demeanor is evident as they lean against a store front, exuding an air of rebellion. Photographed by Lewis Hine in June 1916, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of these idle youths. Dressed in knickers and caps, their youthful energy is juxtaposed with their seemingly adult habit - smoking cigarettes. One can't help but wonder about their stories; what led them to form this tight-knit group? Were they seeking camaraderie or simply finding solace within each other's company? The composition also highlights the presence of a lone girl amidst this predominantly male gang. Her inclusion adds an intriguing layer to the narrative - was she an equal member or perhaps someone who captured their attention? These unanswered questions only deepen our curiosity about this enigmatic scene frozen in time. Lewis Hine's skillful lens captures not just faces but emotions that transcend time itself. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as a reminder that even within moments deemed insignificant by society at large, there lies beauty and untold stories waiting to be discovered.
