A photographic Revolution
We are still experiencing the effects of Lewis Hine's photographs. His photographs began a photographic revolution and sparked a new form of documentation that helped everyone see the humanity behind child laborers. The connection between the truth and the forgotten was put to the spotlight. Hine used his pictures to chronicle the changing times of America. These pictures live among us as visual reminders of what life for the working children in the United States used to be like. With pictures as evidence, no one can doubt that child labor ever existed in such extremity. |
