EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Gang of Newsboys at 10:00 p.m. 1910" by Lewis Wickes Hine, captures a group of young newsboys huddled together in the cold night air. The scene is set in the 1910s, a time when child labor was commonplace, and these boys were making a living by selling newspapers on the streets. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life for these children, who were often forced to work long hours in all weather conditions. The boys, dressed in ragged clothes, are gathered around a small fire, warming their hands and smoking cigarettes, a rare luxury in their impoverished lives. Their faces are etched with the weariness and hardship of their daily existence. The photograph is a gelatin silver print, a popular photographic process of the time, which adds to the timeless quality of the image. The concept of the photograph is both a portrait of a profession and a snapshot of a moment in history, capturing the essence of the newsboy occupation and the struggles of urban poverty during the early 20th century. This powerful image is a testament to the important social documentation work of Lewis Wickes Hine, who dedicated his career to exposing the plight of child laborers through his photography. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a heritage institution that preserves and showcases important works of art and cultural history.
