EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a row of houses in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, back in 1936. The lens of Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for his commitment to social reform, beautifully portrays the essence of this working-class neighborhood. These modest homes were not just ordinary residences; they housed silk, linoleum, and closure workers who played vital roles in the local industries. The image showcases the simplicity and charm of these dwellings that were available for rent at a remarkably affordable price - only $50.00 per month during a time when economic hardships plagued America due to the Great Depression. Hine's camera serves as a powerful tool for documenting the living conditions faced by many Americans during this era. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of the struggles endured by our ancestors. It is through images like these that we can appreciate how far society has come since then. Lewis Hine's dedication to using photography as a means for social change shines through once again with this thought-provoking depiction. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to reflect on past reform movements while appreciating Hine's contribution to documentary photography and its ability to shed light on important societal issues.
