EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HOBOS, c1915" takes us back to a bygone era of American history. The image captures the raw and gritty reality of life on the road for hoboes during the early 20th century. In this particular scene, two men are engaged in a fierce fight between railroad cars. The photograph's black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, transporting viewers to an era where train travel was not only a means of transportation but also a way of life for many adventurous souls. The boxcar serves as both shelter and battleground for these unidentified travelers who have found themselves entangled in conflict. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the vibrations of the moving train beneath our feet and hear the clanging sounds echoing through the air. It is a reminder that life on the road was far from glamorous; it was tough, unpredictable, and often dangerous.
