Joseph Lehman, 7 years old. Sells newspapers at salloon located at 824 Third Ave., New York City. The photographer asked him about the badge he was wearing, and he said, "Oh! Dat's me bruder's."


Nearly all of these urchins were discovered in the photography archives of the Library of Congress (and available without copyright restrictions online). Otherwise, urchin photos will be credited to the appropriate photographer with a link to its source (unless they come from my own collection of photographs from unknown photographers). If there is ever a copyright concern, do not hesitate to contact me.
