EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the cigar-makers of Tampa, Florida in 1909. The image, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, not only showcases the working class but also serves as a powerful tool for social reform. Hine was an American sociologist and photographer who used his camera to shed light on societal issues. In this photograph, we see young workers diligently engaged in their profession within a factory setting. The atmosphere is filled with smoke as these skilled individuals craft cigars with precision and expertise. Their youthful faces tell stories of resilience and determination despite the challenging conditions they faced. Hine's photographs played a crucial role in changing child labor laws in the United States. Through his lens, he exposed the harsh realities faced by children forced into labor at such tender ages. This particular image serves as evidence of child labor practices prevalent during that era. As we reflect upon this vintage American picture, it reminds us of the progress made over time to protect our youth from exploitation while honoring those who fought for change. It stands as a testament to both Hine's photographic prowess and his commitment to social justice through art.
