EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "BROOKLYN NEWSBOY, 1909" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Brooklyn over a century ago. In this image captured by Lewis Hine in February 1909, we see a twelve-year-old boy standing proudly on a stoop, donning an oversized cap and an overcoat that seems too big for his small frame. Despite his young age and illiteracy, this determined child works tirelessly through the night selling newspapers in the subways of Brooklyn. His smile hints at a resilience beyond his years as he navigates the challenges of being part of the working class during turn-of-the-century America. Hine's sepia-toned portrait not only showcases this adolescent newsboy but also provides us with a glimpse into the social issues prevalent at that time. Child labor was unfortunately common during this era, highlighting both economic struggles faced by families and societal gaps in education. As we admire this poignant image from The Granger Collection, let it serve as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It is through photographs like these that we can reflect upon our history and appreciate the progress made towards ensuring better opportunities for children today.
