Portret van een onbekende immigrante op Ellis Island, afkomstig uit Pisticci, Italië 1905

This black and white photograph, "Portret van een onbekende immigrante op Ellis Island, afkomstig uit Pisticci, Italië," by American photographer Lewis Hine, depicts an unknown immigrant woman from Pisticci, Italy, who arrived at Ellis Island in 1905. The woman is wearing traditional clothing, and her gaze is direct and somewhat reserved, perhaps reflecting the challenges of leaving her homeland and entering a new world. This image embodies Hine's famous social documentary style, which often focused on the experiences of immigrants and working-class Americans in the early 20th century. Hine's photographs, which are often poignant and evocative, sought to raise awareness about social issues and improve the lives of those he documented.
