EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Cigarmakers Tierra del Laga Cigar Co, a union shop in Tampa, Florida. Taken by Lewis Hine in January 1909, it offers a glimpse into the world of early American industry. In this sepia-toned image, men and women are seen diligently seated at tables, their hands skillfully rolling cigars. The workers' focused expressions reveal their dedication to their craft. Suspended from the shoulders of some workers are sturdy suspenders, symbolizing the working-class nature of this bustling factory. The scene is filled with an air of productivity as tobacco leaves transform into meticulously crafted cigars. This turn-of-the-century snapshot showcases both male and female laborers engaged in manufacturing these sought-after products. Lewis Hine's lens transports us back to a time when cigar-making was a prominent industry in Tampa, known for its rich history and contribution to the South East region's economy. The photo serves as a testament to the importance of unions during this era. As we observe this historical print from The Granger Collection, New York / The Granger Collection on display through Granger Art on Demand, we can appreciate how it encapsulates not only the artistry involved but also provides insight into an important chapter in American industrial development.
