EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "WACO: NEWSBOY, 1913" takes us back in time to a bustling street corner in Waco, Texas. The image captures the essence of an era long gone, where an eight-year-old newsboy stands proudly amidst the chaos of the city. The young boy's bare feet tell a story of poverty and struggle, yet his determined expression reveals a spirit that cannot be broken. Dressed in knickers and donning a cap with a necktie loosely hanging around his neck, he exudes both innocence and maturity beyond his years. Lewis Hine's masterful photography immortalizes this moment in history when child labor was unfortunately prevalent. This portrait serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by countless children during this turn-of-the-century period. As we gaze upon this sepia-toned print, we are transported to an America that was still finding its footing as an industrial powerhouse. The newsboy represents not only commerce but also resilience – working tirelessly to make ends meet while navigating the streets filled with adults rushing about their daily lives. Although unidentified by name or background, this young vendor becomes emblematic of all those who worked at such tender ages. His presence on that Waco street corner is now frozen in time for us to reflect upon the struggles faced by many during this transformative era. Granger Art on Demand allows us to cherish these historical moments through their collection of prints like "WACO: NEWSBOY". It serves
