"Untitled," taken in 1908 by Lewis Hine, is a poignant photograph that captures the harsh realities of child labor in early 20th-century America. The image depicts a young boy standing beside a wagon, his expression a mix of weariness and resignation. Hine, a social reformer and photographer, dedicated his career to documenting the lives of working-class Americans, often focusing on the plight of children in factories and mines. This photograph, like many of his works, serves as a powerful indictment of exploitative labor practices and a testament to the resilience of those who endured them.
