EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: TOBACCO FARM, 1917" takes us back in time to the Wetstone Tobacco Farm in Vernon, Connecticut. Captured by Lewis Hine in August of that year, this image showcases a group of young shed workers who were an integral part of the tobacco farming industry. In this sepia-toned print, we see a diverse group consisting of both boys and girls. They stand and sit inside a rustic barn surrounded by drying tobacco leaves. Their faces tell stories of early labor and hard work as they contribute to their families' livelihoods. The presence of men and women suggests that people from all walks of life came together on this farm. The photograph hints at the struggles faced by these working-class individuals during a time when child labor was prevalent. Lewis Hine's lens captures not only the physical labor but also the resilience and determination etched onto each face. These adolescents represent a generation forced into adulthood too soon due to economic circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, let us remember those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to provide for their families. This image serves as a reminder of our collective past and highlights the importance of acknowledging and learning from it today.
