EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Brooklyn in 1910. In the sepia-toned image, we see a determined fourteen-year-old boy standing near the iconic Brooklyn Bridge after midnight. Clad in an overcoat that barely shields him from the chilly night air, he is diligently selling newspapers to passersby. Captured by Lewis Hine in October 1910, this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the realities of child labor during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of how young individuals were forced to enter the workforce at such tender ages. The boy's portrait exudes both resilience and innocence as he navigates his way through North Brooklyn's cityscape. His presence symbolizes not only his own struggle but also represents countless other working-class children who contributed to their families' livelihoods. Hine's lens skillfully captures this turn-of-the-century scene, immortalizing it for future generations to reflect upon. The image stands as a testament to both the hardships faced by young workers and their unwavering determination amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, let us remember those who came before us and honor their sacrifices while striving for progress and justice in our own time.
