![This sepia-toned photograph captures a group of six boys and one man in an urban alleyway. The children, who appear to be around 7-12 years old, are dressed in the drab workwear typical for early industrial-era youth laborers, including overalls, suits, hats, and shoes that suggest wear from physical activity or manual tasks.
The older boy on the far left stands with a slight smile, looking off to his side. Next to him is another child wearing glasses, also smiling towards something outside of view. The third figure in this line-up seems less engaged but still smiles faintly at the camera.
In contrast, one boy directly opposite them has both hands inside his pockets and appears indifferent or possibly tired. He's a bit older than the rest; perhaps 13-14 years old.
To their right is another worker with an intense gaze that might suggest determination or contemplation about work conditions. The sixth child stands slightly behind, smiling at someone off-camera but not engaging directly in this picture.
The man to our far left looks down and away from the group's focal point; he may be supervising these boys or just lost in thought.
They all stand on what appears to be a concrete pavement with scattered debris such as rags, cans, and other refuse. The backdrop includes old brick buildings typical of early 20th-century cities along with metal structures like a wooden lad [...]](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/38036975 "This sepia-toned photograph captures a group of six boys and one man in an urban alleyway.
