DELIVERY BOY, 1913 - A Glimpse into the Life of a Young Worker in Shreveport, Louisiana
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century American commerce. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in November 1913, it showcases a determined thirteen-year-old delivery boy standing proudly beside his bicycle outside the Shreveport Drug Company. In this snapshot of history, we witness an unidentified adolescent donning knicker pants and a hat that symbolizes his role as a vital link in the local economy. His youthful face reflects both innocence and responsibility as he carries out his duties with unwavering dedication. The image transports us to a time when child labor was prevalent across the country. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by young workers during this era, highlighting their resilience amidst societal expectations and economic pressures. While we may not know this young boy's name or background, his presence speaks volumes about the spirit of determination that characterized many children thrust into adult responsibilities at such tender ages. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait from The Granger Collection's archives, let us remember those who came before us – individuals like this delivery boy – whose contributions shaped our communities and laid the foundation for progress.
