ST. LOUIS - NEWSBOY, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Life of a Young Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as it showcases the resilience and determination of a five-year-old newsboy on the streets of St. Louis, Missouri in 1910. The image, taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine, offers us a glimpse into the world of child labor during this era. In his worn-out cap and knickers, this young boy stands proudly on the sidewalk with newspapers clutched tightly under his arm. His profile reveals an innocence that contrasts starkly with the responsibilities he carries at such a tender age. As we peer into his sepia-toned portrait, we are transported back to turn-of-the-century America where commerce thrived amidst challenging circumstances. Hine's lens immortalizes not only this individual newsboy but also sheds light on larger societal issues surrounding child labor practices prevalent at that time. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in protecting our youth from exploitation within the workforce. As we reflect upon this photograph from The Granger Collection, let us recognize and appreciate those who fought tirelessly for reforms that ultimately safeguarded children's rights across America. May it serve as an enduring testament to their efforts while inspiring future generations to strive for progress and equality for all workers – regardless of age or background.
