EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "NEW YORK: FOUNTAIN, 1908" we are transported back to the bustling streets of Union Square Park in New York City. The image captures a heartwarming scene of four young newsboys engrossed in their playful pursuit of catching goldfish in a magnificent fountain. Taken in December 1908, during the early years of the twentieth century, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class children at that time. Dressed in caps and jackets, these boys exemplify the spirit and resilience often associated with American youth from that era. Surrounded by onlookers who stand as spectators to their endeavors, these determined newsboys navigate through muddy waters with sheer determination. Their focus is unwavering as they skillfully try to catch elusive goldfish swimming among the splashing water jets. This photograph not only showcases childhood innocence but also sheds light on child labor practices prevalent during those times. These young boys were part of a workforce responsible for distributing newspapers across the city streets. As we admire this historical print from The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It prompts us to reflect upon our progress towards ensuring better opportunities for all children while cherishing moments frozen in time like this one - where youthful joy transcends societal boundaries.
