EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: GLASS WORKERS, 1908" transports us back to a different era. Taken by the renowned photographer Lewis Hine in October 1908 at the Seneca Glass Works in Morgantown, West Virginia, it offers a glimpse into the lives of glass workers during this time. In the center of the frame stands a skilled glass blower, his face obscured by smoke and intensity. With deft hands and focused determination, he shapes molten glass into delicate forms that will later adorn homes and businesses across America. Beside him stands a young mold boy, his small stature contrasting with the towering presence of his mentor. Clutching a pail tightly against his chest, he assists in this intricate process under watchful eyes. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia to this image as we witness firsthand the laborious conditions faced by these workers at turn-of-the-century factories. Their worn clothing and tired expressions speak volumes about their daily struggles within an unforgiving working class environment. This photograph serves as both documentation and reminder - capturing not only their physical surroundings but also shedding light on child labor practices prevalent during this period. It prompts reflection on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in ensuring fair treatment for all workers today. Lewis Hine's powerful lens immortalizes these glassworkers' stories; their dedication to craftsmanship amidst adversity remains etched in history through this remarkable print from
