EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "DELAWARE: NEWSBOYS, 1910" captures a poignant moment in time at Wilmington, Delaware. Taken by the renowned photographer Lewis Hine in May 1910, it offers a glimpse into the lives of young girls and boys who worked as newsboys during this era. In the image, we see a group of children dressed in knickers and caps, standing proudly with newspapers in hand. Their determined expressions reflect their resilience despite their challenging circumstances. These youngsters were part of the working class that tirelessly sold papers to make ends meet. Hine's photography often shed light on social issues such as child labor prevalent during his time. This particular photo serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by these children who had to work at an early age instead of enjoying their childhood. The sepia-toned print adds depth and nostalgia to this turn-of-the-century scene while emphasizing its historical significance. It transports us back to an era when newspaper vendors were a common sight on North American streets. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember the strength and determination exhibited by these young workers. They played an essential role within society while facing adversity head-on. This photograph is not just an artistic piece but also serves as a testament to the resilience of those who lived through challenging times like these.
