EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911, titled "HINE: CHILD LABOR" transports us back in time to the bustling Riverside Cotton Mills in Danville, Virginia. The image captures two young Dinner-Toters diligently delivering food to hardworking workers at the textile mill. Their youthful faces are filled with a mix of innocence and determination as they navigate through their responsibilities. The sepia-toned photograph by Lewis Hine exudes an early American charm, showcasing the realities faced by children during this era. These adolescents, barefoot and wearing straw hats, stand proudly amidst a group of workers who rely on them for sustenance during their long shifts. Despite the hardships depicted in this portrait, there is a sense of resilience that shines through. The young girl's smile hints at her unwavering spirit despite growing up in poverty-stricken conditions. Holding an umbrella to shield herself from the summer sun, she stands alongside her companion with a basket full of meals ready to be distributed. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the working-class struggles that were prevalent in Southeast America during this period. It prompts reflection on child labor practices and highlights the importance of addressing social issues such as poverty and exploitation. Displayed by The Granger Collection's Granger Art on Demand platform, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while contemplating its implications for our present-day society.
