EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1910 by Lewis Hine, transports us back to a time when the world was on the cusp of change. In this image titled "BOWLING ALLEY, 1910" we witness pin boys diligently working until midnight at a bustling bowling alley in Syracuse, New York. The sepia-toned print captures the essence of an era marked by both innocence and hardship. These young adolescent boys, part of the working class of North America during that turn-of-the-century period, were responsible for manually resetting pins after each roll. Their tireless dedication is evident as they navigate through rows of bowling lanes with precision and focus. Lewis Hine's lens not only freezes a moment in time but also sheds light on child labor practices prevalent during this early industrial age. The photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by these young workers who sacrificed their childhood for economic survival. Despite their arduous work environment, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among these pin boys. This recreation space provided them with moments of respite amidst their demanding responsibilities. As we gaze upon this historic image from The Granger Collection's archives, it prompts us to reflect on how far society has come since then. It stands as a testament to progress made in labor laws and children's rights over the past century. Let this print serve as a powerful reminder that every step forward should be accompanied by efforts to protect our most vulnerable members - especially those like
