EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to 1910 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The subject of this print is Jacob Futterman, a young boy who was only 16 years old at the time. Jacob worked as a coconut shaver at Kibbe's Factory, one of the many child laborers during that period. Lewis Wickes Hine skillfully captured Jacob's image against an early exterior backdrop, showcasing his innocence juxtaposed with the harsh reality of child labor. Dressed in simple working-class clothing, Jacob stands tall yet vulnerable, representing countless children whose childhoods were stolen by economic necessity. The sepia-toned portrait evokes a sense of nostalgia and melancholy as we contemplate the hardships endured by these young workers. Their tireless efforts contributed to American industries' growth but came at great personal cost. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us remember those like Jacob Futterman who labored under challenging conditions for meager wages. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our progress in eradicating child labor and highlights the importance of protecting children's rights worldwide. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical artifact from their collection without commercial intent or affiliation with any specific company. It allows us to reflect on our past while inspiring action towards creating a better future for all generations to come.
