EDITORS COMMENTS
BOYS SHOOTING CRAPS, c1916: A Glimpse into the Lives of Textile Mill Boys in Fall River, Massachusetts". This photograph captures a group of adolescent boys engaged in a game of craps on a Sunday afternoon. Taken by Lewis Hine in 1916, this image offers us a poignant glimpse into the daily lives of working-class children during the early 20th century. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of Fall River's textile mills, where these young boys toiled tirelessly throughout the week. In their worn-out caps and tattered clothing, they find solace and camaraderie through an innocent yet risky game of chance. With dice scattered across the dirt ground, these boys demonstrate resilience amidst poverty as they embrace moments of entertainment. Their faces reveal both concentration and excitement as they eagerly anticipate each roll. Beyond mere gambling, this photograph speaks volumes about friendship and community among these mill workers' children. Despite their challenging circumstances, they find joy in each other's company while navigating life's uncertainties together. Lewis Hine masterfully captures not only their physical surroundings but also their spirit – one that defies adversity with youthful determination. This print serves as a powerful reminder of America's industrial past and sheds light on child labor issues prevalent during that era. As we reflect upon this historical snapshot from The Granger Collection’s archives, let us remember those who came before us – resilient souls whose stories continue to shape our present-day understanding.
