1908 Factory Hine Industry Investigation Lewis Textile Mill Wickes Wool Working Class Yarn Southeast Turn Of Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1908, inside a bustling textile mill in Lincolntown, North Carolina. The image captures an old man engrossed in his work as he meticulously inspects yarn. His weathered hands delicately hold the thread, showcasing years of experience and dedication to his craft. The Rhodes Manufacturing Company is the backdrop for this snapshot of American industry at the turn of the century. Lewis Hine, a renowned photographer known for his investigative work on labor conditions, skillfully captures the essence of this textile mill worker's life. Through Hine's lens, we catch a glimpse into the world of hardworking men who formed the backbone of America's booming industrial revolution. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both the challenges faced by working-class individuals during that era and their invaluable contributions to society. It symbolizes not only their physical labor but also their resilience and determination amidst harsh conditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand collection, let us take a moment to reflect on how far our society has come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for progress through their tireless efforts in factories like these across Southeast America.
