EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a young boy diligently making baskets for melons in Evansville, Indiana, back in 1908. The image, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, showcases the harsh reality of child labor during that era. Hine was an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee who dedicated his work to shedding light on the exploitation and working conditions endured by children across various industries. His photographs from 1908-1912 documented these injustices and played a significant role in advocating for reform. In this particular photo, we see a glimpse into the life of this young worker as he hammers pieces of wood together to create baskets. The expression on his face reveals determination despite the difficult circumstances surrounding him. It serves as a poignant reminder of the poverty-stricken lives many children were forced into at such tender ages. The composition highlights both the industrial setting and the innocence lost due to child labor practices prevalent at that time. This historical print is part of a private collection but remains out of copyright, allowing us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and protections for children.
