BOYS SHOOTING CRAPS, 1912 - A Glimpse into the Streets of Providence at Midnight
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the raw essence of early 20th-century American life. Taken by Lewis Hine in November 1912, this image transports us to a dimly lit street in Providence, Rhode Island. In the dead of night, three young boys huddle together on the pavement engrossed in an intense game of craps. Their youthful faces are illuminated by the faint glow from a nearby street lamp, casting haunting shadows across their features. Dressed in knickers and caps that were popular during that era, these boys exude both innocence and mischief. The sepia tones add depth to this snapshot from history as we witness these children engaging in an activity typically associated with adults. The dice roll across weathered cobblestones while anticipation fills the air – each boy hoping for fortune or perhaps just some fleeting excitement amidst their daily lives. Lewis Hine's lens not only captures a scene but also offers us insight into social dynamics at play during this turn-of-the-century period. These boys represent a generation growing up too soon; they embody both resilience and vulnerability within their working-class surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Granger Collection, let it serve as a reminder that even amid hardship and limited opportunities, there is still room for youthful spirit and camaraderie to flourish on darkened streets
