EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Say! I'm der Yellow Kid of Hogans Alley" we are transported back to the vibrant streets of New York City in the early 1900s. The image, a colour lithograph by Richard Felton Outcault, was originally used as a poster advertisement for The Sunday World newspaper. At the center of attention is the iconic character known as the Yellow Kid, who proudly introduces himself with his mischievous grin and bandaged toes. As one of the first comic strip characters ever created, he holds a special place in history and has become an enduring symbol of childhood innocence and humor. The Yellow Kid's appearance is both endearing and comical - a barefoot infant dressed in nothing but a nightshirt, exuding an air of cheekiness that captures our hearts. With his unruly hair and wide-eyed expression, he embodies the essence of an urban urchin navigating through life's adventures. This delightful caricature serves as a reminder of how comics have long been intertwined with newspapers, bringing joy to readers young and old alike. It represents not only a beloved fictional character but also reflects on society at that time – its fascination with cartoons as well as its love for storytelling. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Outcault's artistic talent while immersing ourselves in nostalgia for simpler times when laughter could be found within inked lines on newsprint pages
