EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "HINE: IRONING, 1917" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. In the midst of bustling Boston, Massachusetts, we see a determined fifteen-year-old girl diligently pressing curtains at Boutwell, Fairclough & Gold. The photograph was captured by Lewis Hine in January 1917. The image transports us to an era where child labor was unfortunately prevalent. It serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by young workers during this time. Despite her tender age, this teenager is already contributing to society through her work at the textile mill. Lewis Hine's skilled photography captures not only the physical act of ironing but also reveals much about the girl's character and resilience. Her focused expression and steady hand demonstrate her dedication to her craft. The sepia tones add depth and nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of child labor laws and worker rights. Let this image serve as a reminder that every person has a story worth telling – even those who may be hidden behind their daily tasks or societal roles.
