EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print titled "HINE: CHILD LABOR, 1911" we are transported back to the early 20th century inside the Glenallen Mill in Winchendon, Massachusetts. Captured by Lewis Hine in September 1911, this image showcases a group of young sweepers and doffers working tirelessly in the filling spinning room. The sepia-toned photograph highlights the harsh reality of child labor during that time period. Standing together, these adolescent boys and girls wear worn-out overalls and caps as they hold brooms or stand with their hands on their hips. Their serious expressions reveal a maturity beyond their years, forced upon them by circumstances. Lewis Hine's lens captures not only the physical toll of their work but also hints at the lost innocence within each child's eyes. These young workers were part of a generation robbed of carefree childhoods, instead thrust into grueling labor at textile mills like Glenallen. This powerful portrait serves as a reminder of America's past struggles with child labor and stands as a testament to those who fought for change. The Granger Collection brings forth this historical moment through its art print collection, allowing us to reflect on our progress while honoring those whose lives were forever altered by such conditions.
