Untitled 1908

"Untitled" (1908) by Lewis Hine is a powerful black and white photograph documenting the harsh realities of child labor in early 20th century America. This poignant image captures the weary expression of a young boy, likely a worker in a factory, as he stands before a blurry industrial backdrop. Hine's work, often categorized as social documentary photography, aimed to expose the exploitation of children in the workforce and advocate for their rights. This particular photograph, part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, serves as a stark reminder of the historical struggles faced by children and the enduring value of Hine's social advocacy.
