EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: CHILD LABOR, 1911. A haunting glimpse into the harsh realities of early 20th-century America, this sepia-toned photograph captures the innocence lost in Mildred Griffiths' young eyes. At just thirteen years old, she toils as a packer at Blanchard's Sardine Factory in Eastport, Maine - a cog in the relentless machinery of child labor. Photographed by Lewis Hine in 1911, this portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by working-class teenagers during that era. Against an exterior backdrop that mirrors the coldness and desolation of their circumstances, Mildred stands as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. In her worn-out attire and weary expression, we witness both vulnerability and determination etched onto her face. This image encapsulates not only one girl's story but also sheds light on an entire generation robbed of their childhoods. Lewis Hine's lens exposes society to its own reflection - forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about exploitation and social inequality. As we gaze upon Mildred Griffiths' portrait today, let it serve as a call for justice and change; a testament to our collective responsibility towards protecting the rights and well-being of every child.
