This is an original 1892 color print of a young Brazilian boy in a bare bedroom. Shown on the desk is a Singer sewing machine. The company at the time of this image had 100,000 Brazilian debtors, who had yearned for the machine in order to clothe themselves and their families. The families would make monthly installments to the Singer debt collector for two years in order to pay off the machine.
