EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of child labor in early 20th century America. Taken in 1910 by Lewis Wickes Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee, this image depicts a young girl working as a raveler and looper in Loudon Hosiery Mills, Tennessee. In this haunting scene, we see the girl surrounded by machinery and textiles, her small frame dwarfed by the industrial setting. Her weary expression speaks volumes about the difficult conditions she endures on a daily basis. This photograph is part of Hine's extensive documentation from 1908 to 1912 that aimed to shed light on the exploitation and poor working conditions faced by children across various industries. The stark contrast between innocence and labor is evident here; it serves as a reminder of how childhood was stolen from countless children during this era. The image also highlights the pervasive poverty that plagued many American families at that time. Lewis Wickes Hine's work played a crucial role in advocating for reform and bringing about change in child labor laws. Through his lens, he humanized these young workers, forcing society to confront their plight. This historic photograph stands as both a testament to resilience and a call for social justice—a visual representation of an era marked by struggle but also one that sparked important reforms for future generations.
