EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "News Boy, 1841" is a remarkable oil on canvas masterpiece created by the talented artist Henry Inman. The painting depicts a young male child with an oval face and piercing eyes, capturing the essence of innocence and determination in his expression. The subject of this artwork is a working newsboy from the year 1841, during a time when child labor was prevalent. Dressed in ragged clothing that befits his status as a vendor, he holds newspapers tightly under his arm while gazing directly at the viewer. This portrayal highlights both the hardships faced by children during this era and their resilience in making a living. Measuring 77x63.8 cm, this painting can be found at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. It stands as an important piece within their collection and serves as a reminder of America's history regarding child labor. Inman's attention to detail brings forth emotions that resonate even today. The composition captures not only the physical features but also conveys deeper themes such as poverty and societal issues surrounding child labor practices. "News Boy, 1841" remains an enduring symbol of strength amidst adversity and continues to provoke contemplation about social justice concerns throughout history.
