General Utility Boy at Lumber Company 1913

"General Utility Boy at Lumber Company" (1913) by Lewis Hine is a poignant photo documenting the harsh realities of child labor in the early 20th century. The image captures a young boy standing amidst towering stacks of lumber, his small stature dwarfed by the imposing industrial setting. Hine, a renowned social documentary photographer, utilized his work to expose the injustices of child labor and advocate for social change. This photo, part of his extensive "Child Labor" series, serves as a powerful reminder of the past and a call for continued vigilance against exploitation.
