EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a child apprentice at the De Pedro Casellas Cigar Factory in Tampa, Florida, back in 1909. The image, taken by Lewis Wickes Hine, showcases the harsh reality of child labor during that time period. Hine was an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee and dedicated his work to exposing the exploitation and working conditions children faced across various industries. In this particular photograph, we see a young boy immersed in his duties within the factory setting. His serious expression reflects both determination and resignation as he navigates through his tasks. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the industrial poverty that plagued many families during this era. Hine's documentation played a crucial role in raising awareness about child labor issues and advocating for reform. By shedding light on these injustices through his photographs, he aimed to bring about change and improve the lives of countless children who were trapped in such circumstances. As we reflect upon this historic moment captured by Hine's lens, let us remember not only the hardships endured by these young workers but also their resilience in facing adversity. This photograph stands as a testament to their strength while serving as a call to action against any form of exploitative practices towards children today.
