EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Missouri. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in May 1910, it showcases the hardworking factory workers from Salvan Medicine Factory on Olive Street in St. Louis. The image is a poignant reminder of the early days of American child labor and provides insight into the working conditions at that time. In this sepia-toned snapshot, an unidentified group of workers can be seen walking along Olive Street, their determined expressions reflecting their dedication to their craft. The street scene exudes an air of bustling activity as these individuals go about their daily routines. The photograph serves as a powerful testament to the turn-of-the-century working class, highlighting both their resilience and struggles. It was through images like these that organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee sought to shed light on exploitative labor practices and advocate for change. Lewis Wickes Hine's skillful composition captures not only the physical exterior of the factory but also hints at deeper stories hidden within each worker's face. This print is a valuable piece of historical documentation, reminding us all of our collective responsibility to ensure fair treatment for workers across industries. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print from its collection - a visual window into Missouri's industrial past that continues to resonate with viewers today.
