EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: TOBACCO FARM, 1917" transports us back to a time when the American farming landscape was vastly different. Taken by Lewis Hine in August of that year, it captures a group of shed workers at Hawthorn Tobacco Farm in Hazardville, Connecticut. The image showcases the harsh realities of early 20th-century child labor as we see both boys and girls engaged in this arduous work. The young workers are seated or standing around crates filled with drying tobacco leaves inside a rustic barn. Their faces reflect the weariness and resilience that comes from long hours spent toiling on the farm. In this sepia-toned snapshot, we witness not only the physical labor but also glimpse into the lives of these migrant workers who were part of America's working class during that era. It is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living in poverty-stricken communities. Lewis Hine's photography played an instrumental role in exposing such social injustices and advocating for change. Through his lens, he captured moments like this one which served as powerful tools for raising awareness about child labor practices across America. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember those whose sacrifices paved the way for improved working conditions and fair treatment for future generations.
