EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Goodrich Tobacco Farm, near Gildersleeve, Connecticut in 1917. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, this image is a powerful testament to the working conditions and exploitation of children during that era. Hine dedicated his career from 1908-1912 to documenting the plight of child laborers across various industries. In this particular photograph, we see a group of young boys amidst the tobacco leaves on the farm. Their faces reflect both innocence and weariness as they engage in backbreaking work at such a tender age. The image serves as a reminder of their difficult lives filled with poverty and itinerant labor. The composition highlights not only the physical toll but also hints at their migration patterns as migrant workers seeking employment opportunities. The stark contrast between their fragile frames against the vast expanse of tobacco plants emphasizes their vulnerability within an unforgiving system. Hine's photographic documentation played a crucial role in raising awareness about child labor and ultimately led to significant reforms in labor laws. This photo stands as a poignant symbol of resilience amidst adversity while serving as an important historical artifact capturing America's past struggles with child labor and poverty in agriculture.
