the iconic nature of this image doesn't at all distract from its emotive power.

Seen on your photo stream. (?)

FYI -- this appears to be the original, unretouched, version of the photo, with the thumb in the foreground.

One of my favorite photographers, thanks so much for posting this one! Such an amazing photograph.

wow

1912 charity appeal from the New York Home for Homeless Boys, reported in the New York Times, November 25, 1912 (a year prior to this photo): query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=990DE7DF103CE6...

this one breaks my heart. look at him with his sweet dog...

Age and loyalty. Poverty strikes disproportionately to the aged but they will not deny the companionship of the non judgmental friend.

While the photo says "beggar" A few other things to note---the even lengths of cord hanging over the man's arm and from the dog's collar. Shoelaces perhaps? It would seems he's trying to make his living however humble the circumstances.

Looks like he's selling belts. And yes, heartbreaking.

this is so moving, i'm about to cry.

listen, people at LOC,
you have made a great thing.
loc photos allowed me, a student for graphic design from israel,

i cannot express my deepest gratitude.
