EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HINE: FLOWER FACTORY, 1917" takes us back in time to witness a poignant moment in American history. In the image, we see a young girl named Margaret Reddington diligently powdering roses with a blow pipe at the Boston Floral Supply Company in Boston, Massachusetts. The photograph was taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in January 1917. At just 14 years old, Margaret represents the harsh reality of child labor during this era. Her youthful face is both innocent and weary, reflecting the weight of her responsibilities as she works within the confines of an early 20th-century factory setting. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the working class struggles that were prevalent at that time. The composition captures not only Margaret's individual story but also sheds light on broader societal issues such as poverty and exploitation. Through Hine's lens, we are transported into this flower factory where countless children like Margaret toiled away their youth for meager wages. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let us remember those who came before us and fought tirelessly for improved labor conditions and protections for all workers. May it serve as a testament to our progress while reminding us never to forget those whose sacrifices paved the way for better futures.
