EDITORS COMMENTS
TEXAS: NEWSBOY, 1913. Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this poignant photograph taken by Lewis Hine in October 1913 transports us to the bustling streets of San Antonio, Texas. In the early morning light, two young newsboys stand proudly on a street corner, their bare feet firmly planted on the ground as they prepare for another day's work. Dressed in worn-out overalls and knickers, these adolescent boys epitomize the harsh realities faced by child laborers during this time period. With caps perched atop their heads and bicycles leaning against nearby lampposts, they exude an air of determination despite their tender age. Lewis Hine's masterful composition highlights not only the individuality of each boy but also their shared sense of camaraderie and resilience. Their faces tell stories of hardship and poverty that were all too common in turn-of-the-century America. As newsboys selling newspapers to passersby, these young workers played a vital role in disseminating information throughout San Antonio. They served as both vendors and messengers - small cogs within a larger commerce machine that fueled economic growth in the Southwest. This sepia-toned portrait serves as a powerful reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten; it is a testament to the strength and perseverance exhibited by children who should have been afforded carefree childhoods instead.
