EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: SEAMSTRESS, 1917" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a young Marie Vancanvenberg diligently working on corsets for Madam Claff at her workshop located at 420 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. At just fifteen years old, Marie embodies the resilience and determination of the working class during this era. Her focused expression and skilled hands demonstrate her expertise as a seamstress. Lewis Wickes Hine masterfully captures the essence of Marie's dedication to her craft. The sepia-toned print adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, highlighting the historical significance of this moment. It serves as a poignant reminder of child labor practices prevalent in America during that time period. This photograph not only documents Marie's contribution to garment production but also sheds light on societal issues surrounding child labor and exploitation within industrial settings. It stands as a testament to Hine's commitment to social reform through his powerful visual storytelling. Displayed by Granger Art on Demand, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging the progress made towards fair labor practices since then.
