Framed Print of Glass-blowing machine, 1908 C016 / 4503
Glass-blowing machines. Early 20th-century machines designed to take molten glass and blow four milk bottles into moulds (centre). Machines such as this were intended to reduce the need for manual labour, including child labour. These machines are part of production at the Travis Glass Company, Clarksburg, West Virginia, USA. This photograph, obtained by US sociologist and photographer Lewis Wickes Hine (1874-1940), dates from October 1908. Hine was a photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), documenting working and living conditions for children, and campaigning against child labour and poverty in the USA. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © LIBRARY OF CONGRESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
