EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a haunting glimpse into the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, the image showcases young boys toiling away at Hickok Lumber Co. in Burlington, Vermont. In this sepia-toned print, we witness these adolescent workers immersed in their laborious tasks within the lumber industry. Their faces bear expressions that betray their tender age and reveal the burden they carry on their small shoulders. The boy closest to the camera stands stoically with his hand gripping a sawmill tool, while his companions can be seen diligently engaged in various manual tasks behind him. Hine's lens captures not only the physical toll of this grueling work but also hints at its impact on these children's innocence and childhoods cut short. These young boys are representatives of a working class struggling for survival amidst an industrialized North American landscape. Displayed as part of The Granger Collection's archive, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our collective past and highlights society's progress since then. It prompts us to reflect upon how far we have come in protecting children from exploitative practices like child labor. As viewers engage with this striking image, it is impossible not to feel moved by its historical significance and appreciate Hine's dedication to exposing social injustices through his photography.
