EDITORS COMMENTS
A New Year's Tradition: The Determined Newsboy, 1907, by Frances Brundage In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we witness a young newsboy boldly ringing in the New Year with unwavering determination and resilience. Captured by renowned American artist Frances Brundage in 1907, this image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the early 1900s and the grit of urban life. The newsboy, dressed in a threadbare newsboy cap and a worn jacket, clutches a stack of newspapers under his arm, ready to sell to the passing crowd. His eyes are focused intently on the approaching pedestrians, his expression a mix of hope and resolve. The New Year's Day sun casts a warm glow on the scene, adding a sense of optimism and renewal. Brundage's masterful use of light and shadow creates a captivating contrast between the brightness of the day and the darker, more somber elements of the image. The cobblestone street, lined with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, adds to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, when newsboys were a common sight on city streets, hawking their wares to make a living. The image also highlights the importance of perseverance and the human spirit in the face of adversity. Frances Brundage's 'A New Year's Tradition: The Determined Newsboy' is a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its authentic portrayal of a bygone era.
