EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in October 1913, it showcases orphan boys as young as seven years old from the Baptist Orphanage working on a cotton field near Waxahachie, Texas. In this haunting image, we see these young boys barefoot and dressed in tattered clothing, toiling away under the scorching Texan sun. With their small frames bent over, they are diligently picking cotton with their tiny hands. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of a time long gone but not forgotten. Hine's photography was instrumental in exposing the plight of child laborers during this era. Through his lens, he aimed to raise awareness about the exploitation and abuse faced by these innocent children who were robbed of their childhoods. This particular photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their struggles and resilience amidst adversity. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this print is a testament to Hine's dedication towards social reform through visual storytelling. It stands as a historical document that compels us to reflect upon our past and work towards creating a better future for all children around the world.
