EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating coloured print titled "Cigarmakers, Tampa, Florida 1909" by Lewis Hine takes us back to a significant era in American history. This image, captured by the renowned sociologist and muckraker photographer Lewis Wickes Hine, sheds light on the harsh realities of child labor in early 20th century America. In this poignant scene, we see a young boy diligently working alongside adult cigarmakers in a tobacco factory. The vibrant colours bring life to the photograph, emphasizing the innocence of youth juxtaposed against the somber backdrop of employment at such an early age. Hine's photographs played a vital role in advocating for change and ultimately led to the passing of crucial child labor laws in the United States. Through his lens, he exposed societal issues that were often overlooked or ignored. This image serves as a reminder of both progress made and challenges still faced today. It highlights not only the exploitation endured by children but also reflects upon broader themes such as employment practices and addiction associated with smoking. As we gaze upon this powerful piece of art from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a testament to our collective responsibility towards protecting vulnerable members of society and ensuring their well-being.
