EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: TOBACCO FARM, 1917" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by Lewis Hine in August 1917, the image showcases a group of tobacco pickers on Goodrich Farm during harvest season in Cromwell, Connecticut. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the toil and labor of both men and women as they work diligently under the scorching sun. Among them are young boys and girls who should be enjoying their carefree childhood but instead find themselves thrust into the harsh reality of early employment. This haunting portrayal sheds light on the issue of child labor prevalent during that era. The sepia-toned print evokes a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously reminding us of the hardships endured by those living in rural areas. The workers' weathered faces tell stories of resilience amidst poverty as they strive to make ends meet through farming tobacco. Lewis Hine's lens not only captures an important historical moment but also serves as a powerful reminder for us today. It prompts reflection on societal progress made since then and encourages us to continue fighting for fair working conditions for all individuals. Displayed proudly by Granger Art on Demand, this photograph serves as a testament to human strength and determination against adversity – an enduring symbol that reminds us never to forget our past struggles nor cease striving towards a more just future.
