1870 Child Labor Commerce News Paper Newsboy Ragged Runner Sport Vendor Working Class

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AMERICAN NEWSBOY, c1870" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of late 19th century America. The image showcases a young newsboy, his face beaming with joy as he shouts out the exciting headline: "Great news by telegraph!". This wood engraving captures not only the spirit of a hardworking child laborer but also reflects the vibrant energy of American commerce during that era. The ragged appearance of the newsboy serves as a poignant reminder of the working class struggles prevalent at that time. Despite their challenging circumstances, these young vendors played an integral role in disseminating information through newspapers to city dwellers hungry for knowledge. The composition skillfully portrays both motion and stillness - while the newsboy appears to be on the run, his surroundings remain frozen in time. The detailed engravings showcase architectural elements typical of American cities during this period, transporting viewers into an authentic urban setting. This artwork is more than just a historical document; it represents resilience and determination amidst adversity. It sheds light on an important chapter in American history when children like this newsboy were part of shaping society through their work ethic and dedication. Granger Art on Demand has once again brought us an evocative piece that sparks curiosity about our past and encourages reflection on how far we have come since then.
