EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in history - the impact of the Child Labor Scholarship program in New York City during 1913. The image showcases a young girl, adorned with a hat, sitting at her desk inside an office. Her face radiates hope and determination as she holds onto the weekly allowance provided by the New York Child Labor Committee. Lewis Hine, renowned for his documentary photography on social issues, skillfully portrays the transformative power of education over child labor. Through this scholarship program, children from working-class families were given an opportunity to attend school instead of being forced into labor at such a tender age. The sepia-toned print highlights both the innocence and resilience embodied by this young girl. It serves as a poignant reminder of how society can uplift its most vulnerable members through initiatives like these scholarships. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us reflect on how far we have come in eradicating child labor while acknowledging that there is still work to be done globally. This image stands as a testament to the tireless efforts made by individuals and organizations throughout history who fought for equal opportunities for all children. The Granger Collection's archival print immortalizes not only Lewis Hine's exceptional talent but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to improving our world - one child at a time.
