HINE - CHILD LABOR, 1910. A Glimpse into the Harsh Reality of a Young Spinner's Life at a Cotton Mill in North Pownal, Vermont
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Lewis Hine in August 1910 offers a haunting portrayal of child labor during the turn of the century. The image showcases an unidentified young girl standing amidst the intricate machinery and spools at a textile mill in North Pownal, Vermont. In sepia tones that evoke both nostalgia and despair, Hine masterfully conveys the stark contrast between innocence and toil. The adolescent worker gazes directly into the camera with weary eyes that betray her tender age. Her presence within this industrial setting serves as a powerful reminder of how early childhood was sacrificed for economic survival. The thread she holds tightly in her hands symbolizes not only her immediate task but also represents countless hours spent toiling away under arduous conditions. This portrait encapsulates both resilience and vulnerability, highlighting the plight faced by many young workers during this era.
