EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Delivery Boy C, circa 1910," depicts a young errand boy in the midst of an unexpected snowball ambush. Dressed in a red jacket and holding a large box or tin on his back, the boy braces himself against a red pillar post, momentarily startled by the barrage of snowballs thrown by a group of mischievous children. The playful scene unfolds in the wintery streets of the early 20th century, with a postbox and other delivery tins visible in the background. The errand boy industry was a common occupation for children during this era, providing employment opportunities for young workers. Despite the harsh working conditions and long hours, these jobs allowed many families to make ends meet. The boy in the photograph appears focused on protecting his delivery, unaware of the snowball huntley-palmers biscuit boys launching against him. The snowballs fly through the air, some missing their mark, others striking their intended target. The boys' faces are filled with excitement and mischief, a testament to the simple joys of childhood in a bygone era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing a moment of innocence and playfulness amidst the daily grind of urban life. It also highlights the resilience and determination of children, who found ways to make the most of their circumstances, even during the harshest of winter conditions.
