La Carrera por los Periódicos de la Tarde
1912
Imagine the chaotic noise of a New York street corner in 1912. John George Brown, an artist who made a fortune painting the city's scrappy 'newsies,' captures the frantic moment the evening edition arrives. A swarm of boys in flat caps and suspenders clamors at the back of a wagon, hands reaching desperately toward the distributor to grab the latest headlines. While one boy on the left has already secured his copy and is reading intently, the rest are caught in a frenzy of competition. Brown often romanticized these street children as plucky heroes, softening the harsh reality of their poverty for his wealthy patrons.
