EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of young Curtin Hines, a 14-year-old Western Union messenger in Houston, Texas back in 1913. The image, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, showcases the resilience and determination of this industrious boy who had been working for the company for six months at such a tender age. Hine's lens was dedicated to shedding light on the harsh realities faced by children during that era. As an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee from 1908 to 1912, he documented various industries where child labor was prevalent. His work aimed to expose exploitation and advocate for reform. In this particular photograph, we see Curtin dressed in his uniform with a telegraph strapped across his chest as he stands proudly next to his trusty bicycle. The worn-out streets serve as a backdrop to depict not only poverty but also symbolize the challenging circumstances these young workers endured daily. The image serves as a poignant reminder of America's history and its struggle against child labor practices. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come in protecting our youth from such hardships while acknowledging that there is still progress yet to be made. This powerful piece is part of a private collection and remains out of copyright, allowing us all access into an important chapter of American history through Hine's remarkable lens.
