Untitled c. 1912

Lewis Hine's "Untitled" (c. 1912) is a poignant photo documenting the lives of child laborers. Taken in front of a brick factory, the image captures a group of young girls walking away from a group of adults, their small figures emphasizing their vulnerability. Hine, a social documentary photographer, aimed to expose the harsh realities of child labor through his powerful images. His work, often characterized by its stark realism and emotional impact, helped to bring about legislative changes to protect children. This photograph, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, serves as a reminder of the importance of social justice and the enduring power of art to raise awareness.
