EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the tireless work of two young boys named Amos and Horace. In 1916, these brave children spent their days worming and suckering tobacco plants for their father, John Neal, in Warren County, Albaton, Kentucky. The image was captured by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee. Hine's powerful documentation from 1908 to 1912 shed light on the harsh working conditions and exploitation faced by children across various industries. This particular photograph serves as a stark reminder of the struggles endured by countless American children during this era. The image portrays Amos and Horace diligently tending to the tobacco plants amidst poverty-stricken surroundings. Their youthful faces reveal both determination and weariness beyond their years. Through their laborious efforts in agriculture at such a tender age, they exemplify resilience in the face of adversity. This snapshot not only exposes child labor but also symbolizes hope for change. It stands as a testament to Hine's unwavering commitment to raising awareness about social injustices through his lens.
