EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment in the life of an employed bachelor residing in Sessa Hill, Scotts Run, West Virginia. Taken by Lewis Hine in March 1937, this scene represents the reality faced by countless bachelors who were part of a group of immigrants whose families had been torn apart due to immigration restrictions. In this image, we see a man surrounded by humble furnishings and personal belongings that hint at his solitary existence. The expression on his face reflects both resilience and longing, leaving us to wonder if he has left behind a wife in another country or if he dreams of finding love amidst his challenging circumstances. Lewis Hine was renowned for using his camera as a powerful tool for social reform during the early 20th century. Through his documentary photography, he shed light on the struggles faced by marginalized communities across America during times of great hardship such as the Great Depression. This photograph serves as a testament to Hine's commitment to capturing images that would inspire social change and bring attention to pressing issues affecting society. It reminds us of the profound impact that immigration restrictions can have on individuals and families, highlighting their strength and resilience despite being separated from loved ones. As we gaze upon this image from the Liszt Collection, let it serve as a reminder of our shared humanity and encourage us to work towards creating more inclusive societies where families are not torn apart but united in pursuit of happiness.
