EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: SHOOTING MARBLES, 1908. Young doffers at the Kesler Mfg. Co. , engaged in a playful game of marbles in front of their modest employee housing in Salisbury, North Carolina. This photograph by Lewis Hine captures a poignant moment from December 1908 when these adolescent boys found solace and recreation amidst the harsh realities of child labor. In sepia tones that evoke the early days of the turn-of-the-century, Hine's lens transports us to an era where children were not afforded their rightful childhoods but instead thrust into the demanding textile industry. These young workers, with cotton fibers still clinging to their clothes, momentarily escape their responsibilities as they engage in this simple yet cherished game. The image serves as a powerful reminder of both resilience and vulnerability within America's working class during this time period. It sheds light on the poor living conditions and limited opportunities for education or leisure that characterized many industrial towns across the Southeast. Hine's photographic documentation played a crucial role in exposing child labor practices and advocating for reform throughout his career. Through this particular snapshot, he invites viewers to reflect upon the innocence lost due to societal injustices while also celebrating moments of joy amidst adversity. This print curated by The Granger Collection offers a glimpse into history - one that encourages dialogue about social progress and reminds us never to take our present-day privileges for granted.
