EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, it depicts a young boy diligently polishing marble at the Vermont Marble Co. in Centre Rutland, Vermont. The sepia-toned image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, while also serving as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by working-class children during this time. The boy's youthful face is obscured by his cap and smudged with dirt, highlighting the premature burden placed upon him. Within the confines of the factory's interior, we witness an adolescent forced to abandon his childhood innocence and take on adult responsibilities. His small frame stands out against the towering slabs of marble surrounding him, symbolizing both his vulnerability and resilience. Lewis Hine was renowned for using photography as a tool for social reform, exposing societal injustices such as child labor through his lens. This particular image serves as evidence of Hine's dedication to shedding light on these issues and advocating for change. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, let us not forget that behind every photograph lies a story untold – one that compels us to reflect on our past and strive towards creating a better future where no child is robbed of their right to education and play.
