EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "March of the Women: Issue 13, June - The Newspaper Boy," dates back to circa 1901. The image, created by the renowned French caricaturist Jules Alexandre Grun, depicts a mischievous newspaper boy in the midst of a daring escape. With a devilish grin and a large bundle of freshly printed newspapers tucked under his arm, he hollers defiantly as two determined policemen close in on him. The scene exudes an air of excitement and tension, as the boy's playful antics clash with the authority figures hot on his heels. The black-and-white medium captures the essence of the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the past when news was delivered by human hands and the pursuit of a good scoop could lead to unexpected adventures. This print is a charming reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring allure of the written word.
