EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the desolation of Scotts Run, West Virginia in March 1937. The image showcases the Jere mine tipple, a once bustling hub of activity that now stands as a haunting reminder of economic collapse. The mine had been declared bankrupt and closed since December 1936, leaving behind a stranded community grappling with unemployment and despair. Lewis Hine, an American photographer known for his dedication to social reform, used his camera as a powerful tool to shed light on the plight of marginalized communities. This particular photograph is emblematic of Hine's commitment to documenting the effects of the Great Depression on everyday Americans. The camp surrounding the mine is considered a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. It served as both shelter and gathering place for those who were left without livelihoods due to its closure. Hine's lens captures not only physical decay but also the intangible spirit that persisted within this abandoned community. As we reflect upon this image from Lewis Wickes Hine's collection, we are reminded of the transformative power that photography possesses in bringing about social change. Through his work, Hine sought to expose societal injustices and inspire reform movements across America
