Rob, initially I had in mind that selling newspapers wasn't that tough when compared with the child labor in cotton mills, but then I realized that the original capture was taken on a very, very early Sunday Morning. Think that the newsboys have never heard: 'Have a nice weekend.' If someone would had said this to them however, it would have been ironically too.
See by the smile/grin on the face of the boy in the middle of the back row, that he hasn't lost his sense of humor. Probably a matter to 'survive'.
Very good work again. Another very valuable addition to this series!

I read where the Morning Telegraph quit publishing April 11, 1972. These boys were old men when it ceased to exist. It was pretty much dedicated to horse racing when it quit publishing.
Looks like they were waiting for customers or perhaps that is where they picked up their newspapers. Either way, you did another great job with your colorization.

as always some amazing work. I do like the selective coloring as I have stated many times over. the look on these kids faces is truly what photography is all about. back in the day they sure knew how to get the job done right! your enhancements (unless you have a time machine your not sharing) is most profound.

When you think about it, these kids would be the aggressive panhandlers we quickly step away from today. Loud and in your face isn't something we tolerate gladly anymore. And are a much better society for it. The boys needed to earn a living, but this was the newspapers business model, not the kids they exploited for pennies. And to get the deadened passerby to buy their papers, everything had to be sensationalized, scoops and tell-alls, and if the facts didn't fit, they were left out. So the boys were essentially spending their days hawking yellow journalism and propaganda to the masses. Reversing that hostility to the truth has been a long and stumbling process for the press, but seems to be telling truth to power much better these days.

This reminds me of a movie about the young newspaper boys, can't remember the name of it though. They worked very hard at it. You did a fine job here as well.

The Morning Telegraph was first a broadsheet published under the name "Sunday Mercury", from 1839 to 1897, then the Morning Telegraph until April 10, 1972. So if young Harry here was still working for the paper when it closed its doors, he would have been 77 years old. I verified the date on the masthead of the paper he's holding but the woman is unknown without starting a membership with the New York Newspaper Archives (a good idea except for their request for my credit card...8oP). You can tell the photographer is using a cable release on a box camera atop a tripod... all these boys are looking at Mr. Hine instead of the lens. They probably had very few opportunities to be photographed, if any, and weren't used to posing.

Your colorization is perfect. Not overdone and and the choice of colors gives a sense of antiquity. You sure are good at this Rob.
