Untitled 1908

Lewis Hine's 1908 photograph, *Untitled*, captures the stark reality of child labor in the early 20th century. The image, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, portrays four young boys, likely working in a textile mill, standing outside a building with a window that reveals a glimpse of another child inside. Their weary expressions and worn clothing underscore the hardships faced by children forced into labor. Hine's documentary photography, often considered social realism, aimed to expose the plight of children and advocate for their rights. This photograph, along with his other work, played a significant role in enacting child labor laws in the United States.
