EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Seneca Glass Works in Morgantown, West Virginia, back in October 1908. The image showcases a young glass blower named Hine diligently working on his craft with a foot mold. Lewis Hine, the talented photographer behind this snapshot, skillfully freezes this scene from the turn of the century. Intriguingly, we witness Hine's intense focus as he expertly manipulates molten glass using a pipe and molds it into shape. This glimpse into early factory life sheds light on the laborious process of glass blowing during that era. It also serves as a reminder of the prevalence of child labor at that time. The atmosphere within this interior space is filled with both heat and determination. The young worker's dedication to his trade is evident through his precise movements and concentration. As we observe him surrounded by tools and materials essential for glass production, we gain insight into the working class environment prevalent in Southeast America during this period. Lewis Hine's photograph not only documents an individual engaged in their occupation but also provides us with valuable historical context about industrialization and craftsmanship at its core.
