EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Boy Playing in Dump, 1916" takes us back to a time of hardship and poverty in Fall River, Massachusetts. The image captures the essence of daily life for many young children during the early 20th century. In this sepia-toned print by Lewis Hine, we see a young boy wearing a worn-out cap as he fearlessly navigates through piles of trash at Pleasant Street Dump. His resilient spirit shines through as he finds joy amidst the despair that surrounds him. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those living in slums during this era. It depicts not only the destitution but also highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of individuals who had to scavenge for survival. Lewis Hine's work often shed light on social issues, aiming to raise awareness and advocate for change. Through his lens, he captured moments that would otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten. As we gaze upon this poignant image from over a century ago, it serves as a powerful testament to both the struggles endured by those less fortunate and their unwavering determination to find solace even in dire circumstances. This photograph is an important historical artifact that reminds us of our collective responsibility to address poverty and inequality within our society.
