1910 Child Labor Commerce Delaware Hine Knickers Lewis Newsboy Newspaper Vendor Wickes Wilmington Young
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in May 1910, transports us back to the bustling streets of Wilmington, Delaware. In front of the Evening Journal Office stands a group of young newsboys, their faces filled with determination and innocence. Dressed in knickers and caps, these boys embody the spirit of early American commerce. The sepia-toned portrait captures a poignant moment in time - a turn-of-the-century scene where children were not only seen as workers but also as vendors of information. These resilient youngsters played an integral role in delivering news to the North community. Hine's lens skillfully immortalizes this snapshot of history, shedding light on child labor practices that were prevalent during this era. The image serves as a reminder that even at such tender ages, these newsboys had responsibilities far beyond their years. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported to an era when newspapers were king and street corners served as makeshift offices for young entrepreneurs. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past and appreciate how far society has come since then. Let this photograph be a testament to the strength and resilience displayed by these young workers who helped shape America's newspaper industry while navigating challenging circumstances.
