EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: CHILD LABOR, 1908. A poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of early 20th-century American industry is captured in this sepia-toned photograph by Lewis Hine. The image showcases a young doffer at Rhodes Mfg. Company in Lincolnton, North Carolina, taken in November 1908. In this haunting portrayal, the adolescent boy stands amidst the machinery and spools of a textile mill, dressed in tattered clothing that symbolizes his working-class background. His weary expression hints at the burdens he carries as a child laborer during a time when such exploitation was tragically common. The photograph serves as both an artistic record and a powerful social commentary on child labor practices prevalent at the turn of the century. It sheds light on the industrialization era's disregard for children's rights and their education, instead subjecting them to grueling work within factories like Rhodes Mfg. Company. Lewis Hine's lens captures not only the physical toll exacted upon these young workers but also their resilience and determination to survive under challenging circumstances. Through his photography, Hine aimed to raise awareness about child labor issues and advocate for change. This thought-provoking print from The Granger Collection serves as an important reminder of our collective responsibility to protect vulnerable members of society and ensure that every child has access to education rather than being forced into arduous labor.
