EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: NEWSBOY, 1910. A glimpse into the bustling streets of early 20th century Manhattan, this photograph by Lewis Hine transports us to a time when young boys like this unidentified newsboy played an integral role in the city's commerce. Standing confidently on the Bowery, one of New York's most vibrant neighborhoods, he skillfully sells newspapers around saloon entrances. In sepia tones that evoke nostalgia for a bygone era, Hine captures the essence of urban life at the turn of the century. The boy's knickerbockers and newspaper-filled bag are emblematic of his working-class status as he navigates through crowded streets with determination and resilience. This portrait not only showcases a young adolescent but also sheds light on child labor practices prevalent during that period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by children who were forced to contribute to their family income at such tender ages. Lewis Hine was renowned for his social documentary photography, using his camera lens as a tool for advocacy against child labor and other societal injustices. Through this image, he invites viewers to contemplate both the innocence and hardships experienced by these young workers in an ever-changing metropolis. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time—a testament to how art can preserve history and provoke contemplation about our society's past.
