HINE - HOME INDUSTRY, 1910. A Glimpse into the Lives of Hardworking Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned photograph taken by Lewis Hine in February 1910 offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of a mother and daughter engaged in embroidery work within their humble tenement apartment on the Upper East Side of New York City. The image captures an era when home industries were prevalent, particularly among the working class. In this intimate scene, we witness a young girl diligently assisting her mother with delicate needlework, showcasing their skill and dedication to their craft. Despite their modest surroundings, there is an air of determination as they meticulously create beautiful pieces through piecework. The photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by families during this period, where child labor was unfortunately common due to economic hardships. However, it also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by these women who sought to provide for themselves and contribute to their household income. Lewis Hine's lens not only documents history but also sheds light on domesticity at its core – where mothers impart skills onto daughters while simultaneously navigating poverty-stricken circumstances. This snapshot encapsulates both struggle and strength within one frame. As we reflect upon this turn-of-the-century moment frozen in time, let us honor these unsung heroes whose tireless efforts contributed to shaping our society today.
