EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 19th century, showcasing children carrying boards like sandwichmen to advertise the upcoming Christmas season. This historical tradition of using young ones to promote holiday festivities is both fascinating and somewhat unsettling, as it reflects a time when exploitation of child labor was not uncommon.
The image provides a glimpse into the customs and traditions surrounding Christmas in the late 1800s, with these children playing a crucial role in spreading awareness about the festive season. Their innocent faces juxtaposed with the weight of their advertising responsibilities create a poignant narrative that speaks volumes about societal norms of that era.
As we reflect on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of protecting and valuing our youth. While this practice may seem outdated and ethically questionable by today's standards, it serves as a reminder of the progress made in safeguarding children's rights over the years.
Overall, this print offers an intriguing look into a bygone era where advertising took on unconventional forms and sheds light on how certain traditions have evolved or been left behind as society has progressed.
