EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Hamilton Watch factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, back in 1936. The image showcases a skilled inspector meticulously examining a watch plate, highlighting the rigorous inspection process each plate had to undergo. Lewis Hine, an influential American photographer known for his commitment to social reform, expertly captured this scene. During the Great Depression era, Hine used his camera as a powerful tool to shed light on the working conditions of various industries across America. This particular photograph exemplifies his dedication to documenting and advocating for change within society. The intense focus of the inspector reflects not only their expertise but also the importance placed on quality control during that time period. Every operation involved in creating these watches - drilling, tapping, recessing, and facing - was subject to severe scrutiny. Through this image alone, one can sense both the precision required by workers and the high standards set by Hamilton Watch Company. Hine's work serves as a visual reminder of how photography can be employed as more than just art; it can be utilized as an instrument for social transformation. By capturing moments like this one at Hamilton Watch factory, he aimed to bring attention to labor conditions and advocate for improved rights for workers across America during challenging times such as the Great Depression.
