EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in 1916, it showcases the injured hand of a 17-year-old weaver at the Sagamore Mill in Fall River, Massachusetts. In this close-up sepia-toned image, we see the young girl's hand up close, revealing the physical toll that her work has taken on her body. The injury serves as a haunting reminder of the dangerous conditions these children were subjected to in order to support their families and contribute to industrial production. Hine's photographs played a crucial role in exposing child labor abuses and advocating for reform. Through his lens, he shed light on the exploitation faced by countless young workers across America's mills and factories. The Granger Collection presents this print as part of their collection dedicated to preserving historical moments that shaped our society. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in protecting children's rights and ensuring safer working environments. Let us reflect upon this image with gratitude for those who fought tirelessly for change and remember that progress is an ongoing journey towards justice and equality.
