About
First softcover printing. 84 pp. in glossy photo-illusrated softcovers. Illustrated throughout with Hine's striking black and white photographs.
Lewis W. Hine, an American sociologist and photographer, was known for using his camera as a tool for social reform, particularly in the area of child labor law reform. Hine is best known for the documentary images of child labor practices that he produced under the aegis of the National Child Labor Committee from 1911 to 1916. These photographs not only have been credited as important in the passing of child labor laws, but also have been praised for their sympathetic depiction of individuals in abject working conditions. Hine labeled his pictures "photo-interpretations," emphasizing his subjective involvement with his subjects; this approach became the model for many later documentary photographers, such as Sid Grossman and Ben Shahn.
