EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: CHOPPING CORN, 1916 captures a poignant moment in American history, depicting Everett and Ora Adams diligently chopping corn on their family farm in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. This evocative photograph by Lewis Hine was taken in August 1916 during a time when child labor was prevalent in the agricultural sector. In this sepia-toned image, we witness the toil of these young teenagers as they work under the scorching sun. Dressed in worn-out overalls, their faces show determination and resilience beyond their years. The backdrop of the rural landscape emphasizes the harsh realities faced by working-class families during this era. Hine's lens not only documents an early example of child labor but also sheds light on the socio-economic conditions that plagued many farming communities across America at that time. Through his powerful imagery, he aimed to raise awareness about such issues and advocate for social reform. This historic print from Granger Art on Demand serves as a reminder of our collective past and prompts us to reflect upon how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to the strength and perseverance exhibited by individuals like Everett and Ora Adams amidst challenging circumstances.
