EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a haunting scene from the Lincoln Cotton Mills in Evansville, Indiana, back in 1908. The image portrays a young boy working as a sweeper amidst the carding machines, his stockinged feet struggling to find traction on the slippery factory floor. This evocative print was taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee. Hine dedicated his career to documenting and exposing the harsh realities faced by child laborers across various industries during this time period. His photographs served as crucial evidence that shed light on the exploitation and dangerous working conditions endured by these young workers. In this particular image, we witness not only the physical challenges of labor but also glimpse into a world of poverty and industrial machinery that defined many children's lives during this era. The boy's presence within such an environment serves as a stark reminder of societal reform needed to protect vulnerable individuals like him. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it is essential to recognize its historical significance in advocating for change and improving labor laws for future generations. It stands as both a testament to Hine's dedication as an artist-activist and a visual representation of America's complex past with child labor practices.
