Untitled 1909

This black and white photograph, *Untitled*, taken in 1909 by Lewis Hine, is a poignant example of his documentary style. It depicts a young boy, likely a child laborer, standing on a porch. The boy's posture is defiant yet vulnerable, a stark reminder of the hardships endured by children in the early 20th century. Hine's work exposed the realities of child labor and contributed to the social reforms that aimed to protect children. This photograph is a powerful testament to the photographer's commitment to social justice and his ability to capture the human cost of industrialization.
