EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photo captures a poignant moment in history as we see a young teen boy diligently working as a Postal Telegraph Company messenger in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Taken around 1910 by Lewis Wickes Hine, this image showcases the reality of child labor during that era. The boy, with his caucasian ethnicity and determined expression, stands proudly beside his bicycle - an essential tool for delivering messages swiftly through the bustling streets. His cap and hat add to the sense of professionalism despite his tender age of just 14 years old. Hine's photography skillfully portrays the hardships faced by young workers at the time. This portrait serves as a reminder of their resilience and dedication to supporting themselves and their families amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph today, it offers us a glimpse into both the past struggles and triumphs experienced by individuals like this young messenger. It is important to acknowledge how far society has come in terms of protecting children's rights while also recognizing that there is still work to be done. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to reflect on our collective history while appreciating Hine's ability to capture such powerful moments frozen in time.
