EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Millville, New Jersey. Taken by renowned American photographer Lewis Hine in March 1937, the image showcases workers at Whitall Tatum Co. , a prominent glass bottle manufacturing company during that era. In this particular shot, we witness a worker carefully removing a freshly blown glass bottle from an I. S. automatic blowing machine for testing purposes. The intense focus on the worker's face reflects their dedication to ensuring quality craftsmanship and adherence to strict standards. Lewis Hine was not just an ordinary photographer; he used his camera as a powerful tool for social reform. Through his lens, he shed light on various aspects of American society during the Great Depression and beyond. This photograph is no exception, as it symbolizes both the resilience of American industry and the human element behind it. The image serves as a reminder of America's rich industrial heritage while also highlighting the importance of documentary photography in driving social change. It stands as a testament to Hine's commitment to capturing authentic moments that would otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small but crucial aspect of Millville's manufacturing legacy - its glass bottles produced with precision and care by dedicated workers like those depicted here.
