EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Lewis Hine in May 1910, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Wilmington, Delaware. The image captures a group of young newsboys sitting on a stoop at the corner of 4th and Market Streets, engrossed in their newspapers. These boys, dressed in knickers and caps, represent the working class children who were an integral part of early American commerce. Despite their tender age, they were already immersed in the world of labor as they sold newspapers to earn a living. The sepia-toned print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era - one where street scenes like this were common sights. The worn-out stoop serves as both their perch and workspace while they diligently read through headlines before offering them to passersby. This poignant snapshot also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by these young workers during that time period. Child labor was prevalent across America, with many youngsters forced into employment due to poverty or family circumstances. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand titled "DELAWARE: NEWSBOYS, 1910" it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It prompts us to reflect on our progress in protecting the rights and well-being of children worldwide while appreciating the resilience displayed by those who came before us.
