1910 Adolescent Child Labor Hine Lewis Mill September Smoking Teenager Textile Mill Vermont Wickes Wool Working Class Young Turn Of Century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a haunting glimpse into the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, it showcases a group of young boys diligently working at American Woolen Mills in Winooski, Vermont. In sepia tones, the image portrays these adolescent workers seated together, their faces etched with weariness beyond their years. Each boy wears a cap and is immersed in his task within the textile mill. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of responsibility that should not rest upon such young shoulders. One striking detail stands out amidst this somber scene - a teenager casually smoking a cigarette as he toils away alongside his peers. This small act serves as a poignant reminder of lost innocence and stolen childhoods. Lewis Hine's photographic documentation played an instrumental role in exposing the exploitative practices prevalent during this era. By capturing these images, he aimed to shed light on the plight of child laborers and advocate for change. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember those who labored under unimaginable conditions so that future generations could enjoy improved rights and protections. May their sacrifice serve as an enduring testament to our ongoing fight against exploitation and injustice within society.
