Geeta Kadam You haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about. “Night school for children” in 1877?? Come back into the real world. Do some research on what life was really like for children then
Wonderful, but notice how an every day event creates a crowd because of the presence of the camera, Try it today and get the camera wrapped aroung you throat and twisted, and twisted you get the idea.
You all find this lovely?! The child is nicely dressed WTF! ON his knees polishing the shoes of whoever all day long!! Would you like your own child to do that?!
What a crazy world we live in.
A simple picture of a shoe shine and your all arguing. It’s like most of you are trolling fb looking for something or someone to have a rant at.
Crazy world.
Nice pic..child so much decently dressed in suit..he is not shy about his job..he will live a prosperous life..many children use to go in night schools
There was a shoeblack (a man dressed in uniform) outside the Cafe Royal on Regent Street up not long ago. Growing up in 60s Tangier, I remember there were a few shoe-shine boys. I didn’t see them after that, probably there was no more demand for them with new footwear. MB

When to earn a living is no child labor.

A real “dandy “
Thats Reese-Moggs, yesterday
Street fife ???
Talk about a hard fife…
Barney Fife. Lol
Anyone got a photo of the photographer ?
Better give him a decent tip, you toff !
Must’ve not been a lot going on back then for a shoe shining to draw an audience.
Shine yer shoes governor?
Or street london in Fife?
That seems clean and innocent, I bet the truth was much harsher,this looks like a still from a movie
Fife??? So difficult to type FIVE words correctly for a post??? 😏
I don’t see any Fife.
I dont see why many men would feel the need to have someone clean and shine their shoes Id think most are just trying to help the kid make a buck ?
He got his shine box
Where’s the fife player?
Oh, the time when people wore shoes…
Poor kid
Where’s the flute?
Probably my past life…
Live, Love, Fife
Fife is in Scotland
Mom told me to go out on the street and shine shoes in the 60s. No supplies, no instructions on how to do it, so I never did.
Hey it’s Tommy with his Shinebox!
You mean street Life you put fife made me smile what is a fife shoe shine boy
Tory’s would have our kids back doing that if they could.
Interesting to look back in time.
Better than working in the coal mines, long term health wise at least

Looks like the back of Buster Keaton
