EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1936 showcases the Whitall Tatum Company houses in Millville, New Jersey. The image, captured by renowned American photographer Lewis Hine, serves as a powerful tool for social reform during a time of great hardship - the Great Depression. The photograph highlights the stark reality of living conditions in this industrial town. With an emphasis on lack of sanitation and poor road facilities, Hine's lens exposes the struggles faced by residents in their everyday lives. The viewer is transported to Myrtle Street, where they can witness yards stretching towards the upper Whitall Tatum plant. Hine's dedication to using his camera as a means for change shines through this image. He sought to shed light on the harsh realities faced by working-class Americans during this challenging era. By capturing scenes like these, he aimed to raise awareness about societal issues and inspire reform movements. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of improving living conditions and social equality. It also prompts us to reflect on our responsibility to continue striving for progress and ensuring that every individual has access to basic necessities such as proper sanitation and well-maintained roads. Lewis Hine's work remains an important testament to documentary photography's ability to drive social change and shape our understanding of past eras in American history.
