EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Paterson, New Jersey in March 1937. Taken by Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for his dedication to social reform, this image showcases the textile industry that once thrived in this city. The focus is on the Madison Silk Co. , situated along the picturesque Passaic River. The old silk mill section depicted in the photograph transports us back in time to an era when Paterson was a bustling hub of industrial activity. The intricate architecture of the mill stands as a testament to its historical significance. Hine's camera skillfully captures both the grandeur and grittiness of this scene. During this period, America was grappling with economic hardship due to the Great Depression. Hine used his camera as a powerful tool for documenting societal issues and advocating for change. This particular image serves as a visual representation of his commitment to shedding light on working conditions and labor rights during that time. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us not only of Paterson's rich history but also prompts reflection on how far society has come since then. It serves as a reminder that art can be instrumental in driving social progress and inspiring reform movements even decades later.
