EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: OFFICE GIRL, 1917" captures the essence of a bygone era. The subject of the image is Malvina Amundsen, a young office girl who was just fifteen years old at the time. She worked diligently at the Eastern Talking Machine Co. , located on 177 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Photographed by Lewis Wickes Hine in January 1917, this portrait provides a glimpse into the life of a working-class teenager during that period. Sitting behind her desk with an air of responsibility, Malvina exudes maturity beyond her years. Her youthful face tells a story of determination and resilience as she navigates through early adulthood. The interior setting showcases an authentic office environment from that era - simple yet functional. This image serves as a powerful reminder of child labor practices prevalent in American history. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical gem from their collection without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with the company itself. It allows us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of labor laws and protecting children's rights. Intriguingly captured by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection, this print invites us to ponder upon the experiences and challenges faced by young individuals like Malvina Amundsen over a century ago.
