EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Lena Lochiavo, 11 years old, basket and pretzel seller, at Sixth Street market in front of saloon entrance, Cincinnati, Ohio" captures a poignant moment frozen in time. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in August 1908 as part of his documentation for the National Child Labor Committee, this photograph sheds light on the harsh realities faced by children during that era. In the image, young Lena stands proudly with her basket of pretzels outside a bustling marketplace. Her determined gaze reflects both innocence and resilience as she navigates through poverty-stricken streets to make a living. The backdrop of a saloon entrance adds an additional layer of complexity to the scene – highlighting societal issues such as child labor and alcohol consumption prevalent at the time. Hine's work aimed to expose exploitation and advocate for reform. Through his lens, he captured not only images but also stories that demanded attention from society. This particular photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by children who were forced into labor instead of enjoying their childhood. Now housed in the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this gelatin silver print continues to serve its purpose even after more than a century since its creation. It is an enduring testament to Hine's dedication towards social justice and his invaluable contribution to documentary photography.
