EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CIGAR BOX FACTORY, 1909" offers a glimpse into the lives of workers at the Tampa Cigar Box Factory in Tampa, Florida. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in January 1909, this image captures a significant moment in American history. In this sepia-toned print, we see an interior shot of the factory floor bustling with activity. A group of hardworking men and young boys can be seen diligently engaged in their tasks. The scene showcases the early manufacturing process of cigar boxes during the turn of the century. The composition exudes a sense of industry as workers sit on benches meticulously crafting each box. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to their craft despite challenging working conditions. This poignant snapshot sheds light on child labor practices prevalent at that time. Hine's powerful lens not only documents but also serves as a catalyst for change. Through his photography, he aimed to raise awareness about social issues such as child labor and improve working conditions for these individuals. As we reflect upon this historic image from over a century ago, it reminds us of how far society has come in terms of worker rights and protection. It stands as a testament to those who fought tirelessly for better standards and serves as an important reminder to appreciate our progress while acknowledging our responsibility towards creating fairer work environments today.
