BOYS SHOOTING CRAPS, 1912 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Young Gamblers in Providence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a group of boys engrossed in an intense game of craps amidst the gritty backdrop of dirt and poverty-stricken surroundings. Taken by Lewis Hine in November 1912, this image provides a poignant glimpse into the daily lives of adolescents during turn-of-the-century America. In this sepia-toned snapshot, we witness these young boys huddled together, their knickers and caps revealing their humble origins. With dice scattered on the ground, they eagerly engage in this popular gambling game that offered both entertainment and potential winnings. The exterior setting reflects a rural atmosphere prevalent in Northeastern towns like Providence, Rhode Island at that time. Hine's lens skillfully captures not only their youthful enthusiasm but also hints at the harsh realities faced by these children living on society's fringes. Their involvement in such activities speaks to the challenges they encountered growing up amidst poverty. As viewers, we are transported back to a different era where childhood was marked by early responsibilities and limited opportunities for leisure. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how circumstances shape our experiences and highlights the resilience displayed by these young individuals facing adversity. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an evocative print that allows us to reflect upon history while appreciating Hine's ability to capture raw emotions through his lens.
