EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in January 1909, it showcases a group of young textile mill workers at the Payne Cotton Mill in Macon, Georgia. The solemn expressions on their faces tell a story of innocence lost and hardship endured. Standing among them is their supervisor, a stern figure overseeing their work with an air of authority. These boys, barely into adolescence, toil away in this dimly lit interior filled with machinery that dwarfs them. Their ragged clothing and tired eyes are stark reminders of the poverty they face daily. Hine's sepia-toned portrait highlights the resilience and determination etched onto these young faces as they navigate life's challenges at such an early age. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by children during this era. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical moment through its art print collection, allowing us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of child labor laws and worker rights. It serves as a testament to both human strength and societal progress while urging us never to forget those who suffered for our present-day freedoms.
