HINE - NEWSBOY, 1910. A Glimpse into the Life of an Adolescent Newsboy in Utica, New York
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned photograph captures a poignant moment frozen in time - a young newsboy braving the harsh winter of February 1910 in Utica, New York. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine, this portrait offers a glimpse into the world of child labor and the working class at the turn of the century. The unidentified boy stands tall amidst swirling snowflakes, his face framed by a turtleneck sweater and cap pulled low to shield him from the biting cold. Despite his youthful appearance, he exudes an air of resilience and determination that belies his tender age. With newspapers clutched tightly under one arm and a vendor's tray hanging from his neck, this industrious youngster embodies early commerce as he navigates through North Utica's streets. His presence serves as a reminder of countless children who were forced to work instead of enjoying their childhoods. Lewis Hine's lens not only captured this newsboy but also shed light on societal issues such as child labor prevalent during that era. This powerful image serves as both documentation and advocacy for change. As we gaze upon this print today, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to protect our youth from exploitation.
