EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in January 1917, we are transported back to the bustling Boston Index Card Co. Located at 113 Purchase Street in Boston, Massachusetts, this image captures a young girl diligently stamping labels amidst the organized chaos of the company's interior. The sepia-toned portrait showcases the working class atmosphere of early 20th century America. The unidentified girl is adorned with a bow and wears glasses that add an air of seriousness to her youthful face. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to her work, despite her tender age. Hine's lens skillfully captures not only the individual but also provides us with a glimpse into an era when child labor was prevalent in American industries. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by children during that time period. Displayed against a glass backdrop, this print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to North American history and invites contemplation on social progress and human rights advancements over time. It stands as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an important chapter in our nation's past.
