This 1908 photograph, "Untitled," by Lewis Hine captures the poignant reality of child labor in early 20th-century America. The image depicts two young boys, likely newsboys, standing in a dimly lit room. Their tired expressions and the newspapers they hold highlight their difficult working conditions. Hine, known for his social documentary photography, aimed to expose the plight of children in the workforce, and this image serves as a powerful testament to his commitment to social reform. The photograph is a reminder of the past and a call for continued vigilance against child exploitation.
