EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of American labor. Taken by Lewis Wickes Hine in January 1917, it showcases a young girl diligently folding filing-folders at the Boston Index Card Co. Located on Purchase Street in Boston, Massachusetts, this bustling company was an integral part of the city's working class. The sepia-toned portrait exudes a sense of nostalgia and invites viewers to reflect on the early days of industrialization. The unidentified girl stands amidst stacks of index cards, her small frame juxtaposed against the vastness of her surroundings. Her focused expression reveals both determination and innocence as she carries out her duties within this North American factory. Hine's lens skillfully captures not only the physical labor but also hints at the social implications surrounding child labor during that era. This image serves as a reminder of how children were often thrust into adult responsibilities far too soon. Displayed proudly by Granger Art on Demand, this print offers us a glimpse into our past while igniting conversations about workers' rights and societal progress over time. It is an evocative piece that speaks volumes about America's industrial heritage and reminds us to cherish our present-day advancements towards fairer employment practices for all individuals.
