EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Lewis Hine in June 1916, we are transported back in time to rural Massachusetts. The image showcases a group of young boys walking across a trestle after a long day's work in Westfield. The sepia-toned print exudes an early American charm, with the rustic architecture and scenic view of the North creating a picturesque backdrop for these hardworking individuals. As they make their way across the bridge, one can't help but admire their resilience and determination. Hine's lens beautifully captures the essence of this moment, highlighting not only the physical structure of the trestle but also providing insight into the lives of these young workers. Their worn-out clothes and tired expressions hint at a life filled with challenges and responsibilities beyond their years. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's industrial past, where children were often thrust into adulthood prematurely due to economic circumstances. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come as a society in protecting our youth from such laborious conditions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection, let us remember those who came before us - those who labored tirelessly to build our nation while sacrificing their own childhoods along the way.
