We notice many images of boys making deliveries with hand carts. These do not seem to be boys selling from hand carts, but rather msking deliveries for shops. Some of the carts were very basic. Other carts were more sophisticated and had advertising for the shops. Most of the images are not dated. They look to be from the period before World War I, but it is difficult to date them more specifically. Generally largr horse drawn carts and of course trucks were operated by adults, but we see boys with hand carts. Here some of the boys look like school boys, perhaps working after school. Others look like they are not in school.
