John George Brown, 1888 - The Shoeshine Boy

A shoeshiner is a person who cleans, polishes and shines shoes for a living. They usually work on the streets or in public places, using a variety of tools and products to make shoes look clean and shiny. Shoeshiners may also provide other services, such as repairing shoes or selling shoe-related products. In some countries, shoeshiners are considered an important part of the local culture and economy, and are highly respected for their skills and hard work.
