Annual Address of the Carriers & Newsmen of the New York Herald:\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>On the Opening of the Year 1851<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Carriers’ Addresses were published by newspapers and local newsboys delivered these greetings in verse each New Year’s Day to customers who understood that a tip was expected.\u00a0 Lasting for more than two centuries in the United States, the custom originated in England and was introduced during colonial times.<\/p>\n

The poems, often anonymous, describe the events of the past year, locally, regionally, and nationally, and end with a request for a gratuity for the faithful carrier. Often the poem referred to the carrier’s diligence and hardships during winter weather. Illustrated with wood-engravings and decorative borders, carriers’ addresses are distinctive examples of popular publishing in nineteenth century America.<\/p>\n
