EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in March 1909, transports us back to a different era. The image showcases an adolescent newsboy engrossed in a game of billiards at the United Workers Boys Club in New Haven, Connecticut. The sepia-toned print captures the essence of early 20th-century America, with its working-class charm and youthful energy. The young boy, dressed in knickers and exuding a sense of determination, leans over the billiard table as he lines up his shot with precision. Hine's lens not only freezes this moment of recreation but also serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by these newsboys during that time. Child labor was prevalent across North America, and many children were forced into work at an early age to support their families. However, within the walls of the United Workers Boys Club, this newsboy finds solace from his daily struggles. Here he can momentarily escape his responsibilities and engage in some much-needed leisure time. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as both a historical document and a testament to resilience. It reminds us that even amidst challenging circumstances, there is always room for joy and playfulness - qualities that transcend time and connect us all on a human level. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate Lewis Hine's ability to capture not just images but stories frozen in time - stories that continue to resonate with audiences more than a century later
