EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the year 1916. In this snapshot captured by Lewis Hine, we are transported to the heart of Fall River, Massachusetts, inside the bustling American Linen Company factory. The focus of this image is a young spooler tender, her face partially hidden beneath an apron as she diligently carries out her duties. Her profile reveals determination beyond her years; a testament to the working class spirit that defined this era. Hine's lens exposes not only the early industrial landscape but also sheds light on a darker reality - child labor. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by young workers during this time period. As we delve deeper into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that these textile mills were vital economic hubs in North America. The hardworking women like our subject played an integral role in shaping society and driving progress. Let us reflect upon their resilience and dedication while appreciating Lewis Hine's remarkable ability to capture such raw emotions within his subjects.
