EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: GLASS WORKERS, 1909" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by Lewis Hine in Millville, New Jersey, the image showcases boys and men toiling away on the night shift at the Wheaton Glass Works. In this sepia-toned snapshot, we witness the harsh reality of child labor during the early 20th century. The young boys are seen alongside their adult counterparts, all engaged in intense work within the glass factory's interior. Their faces reflect determination mixed with weariness as they operate various equipment essential to their craft. Lewis Hine's powerful lens transports us back to a time when industry thrived in North America. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder of the working class heroes who contributed to our nation's growth and progress during that era. The image also highlights the significance of Wheaton Glass Works as a prominent player in New Jersey's manufacturing landscape. Its workers played an integral role in shaping both local and national economies. As we gaze upon this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember those who labored tirelessly under challenging conditions for better lives for themselves and future generations. May it serve as a testament to our collective journey towards fair labor practices and improved standards of living for all individuals across industries worldwide.
