Untitled 1909

"Untitled" is a poignant photo from 1909 by American photographer Lewis Hine. Hine's work documented the harsh realities of child labor in the early 20th century. The photograph captures a group of young boys, likely working in a factory or mill. The boys' weary expressions and worn clothing speak to the difficult conditions they faced. Hine's powerful images played a key role in galvanizing public opinion against child labor, contributing to the passage of child labor laws. This photo, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a stark reminder of the social injustices of the past.
