EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in November 1912, transports us back to a time of innocence and struggle. The image showcases two young boys amidst the bustling streets of Providence, Rhode Island. On the left stands 10-year-old Stanley Steiner, his face marked with determination as he balances his dual roles as a boot-black and newsboy. To his right is 13-year-old Jacob Botvin, selling newspapers at night to make ends meet. The sepia-toned print captures the essence of early American life during the turn of the century. These young boys represent a working class that was prevalent in North America at that time – children forced into labor due to poverty and illiteracy. Both Stanley and Jacob are dressed in worn-out clothes, their caps perched on their heads as they stand proudly for this portrait. Their faces tell stories beyond their years; resilience shines through despite their challenging circumstances. Lewis Hine's masterful composition not only documents child labor but also highlights the strength and perseverance found within these young souls. It serves as a reminder of an era when childhood was often sacrificed for survival. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the struggles faced by these brave youngsters who worked tirelessly just to get by.
