EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "LONDON: NEWSBOYS, 1862" we are transported back to the bustling streets of Victorian London. The image showcases a group of English newsboys diligently selling copies of the Times and the Illustrated London News to passersby. This colored engraving, created in 1862, beautifully captures the essence of commerce and work during that era. The young newsboys, with their caps perched atop their heads and newspapers held tightly under their arms, embody the spirit of determination and resilience. They were an integral part of society's working class, contributing to the dissemination of information in a time when access to news was limited. This image also sheds light on some darker aspects of history, such as child labor prevalent during this period. These children were often from impoverished backgrounds and had little choice but to take up such jobs at a tender age. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of the vibrant energy that once filled these streets but also of the struggles faced by those who worked tirelessly within them. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress comes with both triumphs and challenges for societies throughout time. This remarkable piece is brought to us by The Granger Collection based in New York – an organization dedicated to preserving historical art prints like this one for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
