Description

Limited edition giclée print of The Switchboard Operator III from The Jobs of Yesteryear Series. From the mid-19th to the early 20th century, newsboys or 'newsies' were the main means to get a newspaper in the United States. The trend began in 1833 when Benjamin Day, publisher of The Sun, put up a help wanted ad hoping to hire some unemployed adults to vend his newspaper. Instead, children answered the call and the age of the newsboy had begun. Newsies were motivated to sell by their inability to return unsold papers and worked long hours to make the meager 30 cents they typically earned in a day. The newspaper vending machine (invented in 1947) and the implementation of child labor laws led to the demise of these young workers' position. The headline I chose to depict my newsboy hawking was from The Sun in which they reported the discovery of 'bat-people' living on the Moon in 1835. Back then, newspapers would often craft fake stories to increase their readership. The Jobs of Yesteryear are thought-provoking conversation pieces that will bring an air of history and whimsy to any room.
