Untitled 1908

Lewis Hine's 1908 photograph "Untitled" depicts two young boys standing on a porch, their expressions stoic. The image is a powerful example of Hine's work documenting the lives of working-class children in the early 20th century. Taken in a small town, the photograph highlights the harsh realities of child labor, a social issue that Hine actively campaigned against through his photography. This poignant black and white photograph captures the innocence of youth contrasted with the hardships of their situation. The composition of the image, with the boys positioned in the foreground against the backdrop of a simple wooden house, emphasizes the starkness of their environment.
