EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: NEWSGIRL, 1910. Capturing the essence of early 20th-century New York City, this sepia-toned photograph by Lewis Hine transports us to the bustling streets of the Lower East Side. In this image, a young newsgirl sits gracefully on a crate, diligently tending to her newspaper stand. Her determined gaze and poised posture reflect the resilience and tenacity of working-class adolescents during that era. Taken in July 1910, Hine's lens reveals not only a portrait of a girl but also a snapshot of an entire neighborhood steeped in urban energy. The chaotic yet vibrant scene behind her showcases the city's dynamic commerce as pedestrians pass by on Bond Street and Bowery. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of child labor practices prevalent at the turn of the century. It sheds light on how children like this newsboy or newsgirl were forced into work at such tender ages due to economic hardships faced by their families. The Granger Collection presents this historical gem with utmost care and respect for its artistic value and cultural significance. Through this print, we are invited to witness both the struggles and triumphs experienced by young workers who played an integral role in shaping America's industrial landscape.
