EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DELAWARE: NEWSBOYS, 1910" takes us back in time to Wilmington, Delaware. The image captures the essence of a bustling street corner as a young boy and girl stand proudly, selling newspapers. Their determined expressions reveal the hardships they faced at such a tender age. Photographed by Lewis Hine in May 1910, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the early days of American commerce. The children's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - knickers for boys and dresses for girls. Despite their youth, these newsboys exude an air of responsibility beyond their years. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to this turn-of-the-century portrait. It serves as a poignant reminder of the poverty that plagued many families during this time period. These unidentified young workers symbolize countless others who were forced into child labor due to economic circumstances. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these brave youngsters navigated through adversity with resilience and determination. They embody the spirit of hard work and perseverance that defined America's past. This Granger Collection print is not just a piece of art but also serves as a historical document capturing an important chapter in our nation's history – one where children like these newsboys played vital roles in supporting themselves and their families amidst challenging times.
