EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of textile worker housing in April 1913 at the Floyd Cotton Mill in Rome, Georgia. Taken by Lewis Hine, a renowned American photographer, this image showcases the living conditions of workers during the early days of the cotton industry. In sepia tones, we see a row of modest homes with smokestacks looming in the background. These houses were specifically built to accommodate and house the hardworking individuals who toiled tirelessly in the nearby textile mill. The exterior of these buildings reflects both simplicity and functionality. Hine's lens expertly portrays an era marked by poverty and challenges faced by working-class families. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their struggles while highlighting their resilience amidst adversity. The significance lies not only in documenting history but also shedding light on social issues prevalent at that time. It is through such images that we gain insight into how industries shaped communities and influenced lives. As part of The Granger Collection's portfolio, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past and appreciate how far society has progressed since then.
