EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white gelatin silver print captures the determined expression of a young newsboy, standing confidently on a bustling city street in 1909. Taken by renowned social documentary photographer Lewis Wickes Hine, this image offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of a newsboy during the early 20th century. The newsboy, clad in a worn newsboy cap and holding a stack of newspapers under his arm, exudes a sense of resolve and hustle. His eyes are focused on the horizon, perhaps scanning for potential customers or looking for a moment of respite in the chaotic urban environment. The intricate folds of his clothing and the textured surface of the street add depth and texture to the image, further emphasizing the gritty realism of the scene. Lewis Wickes Hine, a pioneering figure in social documentary photography, captured over 5,000 images of child laborers between 1908 and 1924. His work served as a powerful catalyst for social reform, shedding light on the harsh realities of child labor and inspiring legislation to protect the rights of young workers. This particular print is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors. The image stands as a testament to Hine's unwavering commitment to documenting the human condition and to the enduring power of photography as a medium for social change.
