EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of American industry. Taken in 1908 at the Seneca Glass Works in Morgantown, West Virginia, it depicts a blower and mould boy amidst the harsh realities of child labor. The image was captured by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee who dedicated his career to exposing the exploitation of children. In this scene, we see a young boy working alongside an adult glass blower. Their faces reveal exhaustion and determination as they labor together in this industrial setting. The boy's presence serves as a stark reminder of the widespread poverty that plagued many families during this era. Hine's work played a crucial role in raising awareness about child labor and advocating for reform. Through his lens, he shed light on the often dangerous conditions faced by young workers across various industries. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as both a historical document and a call to action against injustice. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect vulnerable members of society and ensure that every child has access to education, safety, and opportunities for growth. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is also a testament to Hine's dedication towards social change through photography.
